About this listen

Explore the captivating history of the Roman republic

When we think of ancient Rome, the first notion that comes to mind is the one of the empire, followed by the image of a mighty emperor, his legions, colossal buildings, and the Gladiators (or the rhetoric and poetry, depending on your preferences). Some may recall the image of a “unified” Europe under a single sovereign - the emperor of Rome. However, Rome did not become remarkable at this considerably late phase. In fact, many historians see the history of Rome under the Emperors as a long, gradual decline. It was during the republic that Rome gained an empire. Most of the achievements that the first emperor of Rome, Octavian Augustus, claimed to have completed were, in fact, earned during the Roman republic.

In this audiobook, we’ll have a close look at the beginning of Roman civilization, the foundation of the city and the Senate, the expansion of the Roman republic, its glory, and its end.

Some of the topics covered in this audiobook include:

  • The past that made it possible: The foundation of Rome between myth and history
