The Roman Republic is one of the most breathtaking civilizations in world history. Between roughly 500 BCE to the turn of the millennium, a modest city-state developed an innovative system of government and expanded into far-flung territories across Europe, Northern Africa, and the Middle East. This powerful civilization inspired America's founding fathers, gifted us a blueprint for amazing engineering innovations, left a vital trove of myths, and has inspired the human imagination for 2,000 years.

How did Rome become so powerful? This mystery has vexed historians from the ancient Greek writer Polybius to 21st century scholars. Today, removed as we are from the Roman Republic, historians also wonder what it was like to be a Roman citizen in that amazing era. Beyond the familiar names of Romulus, Caesar, Octavian, Brutus, and Mark Antony, what was life like for the ordinary people? And what did the conquered peoples think of this world power?

The Rise of Rome is an excellent audiobook. I loved listening and learning the history of the Roman Empire. The narrator had an excellent tone and speed in which he read. Also, how the audiobook was divided into 32-minute chapters was brilliant. If you love history, this is a must-listen.

Very compressed history of the centuries of the Roman Republic, but presented in an entirely informative and educational style. The professor presents the material well and with enthusiasm. I learned a lot about a variety of topics and countless questions I had going in to the lecture series were answered for me. Highly recommended.

Enlightening
