À propos de cet audio

 From the dignified grace of Augustus to the cruel debauchery of Nero, this history chronicles all the vices and virtues of the first 12 rulers of Imperial Rome.

The Twelve Caesars was written based on the information of eyewitnesses and public records. It conveys a very accurate picture of court life in Rome and contains some of the raciest and most salacious material to be found in all of ancient literature.

The writing is clear, simple and easy to understand, and the numerous anecdotes of juicy scandal, bitter court intrigue, and murderous brigandage easily hold their own against the most spirited content of today's tabloids.

I am working my way through the History of Rome podcast and have made it more interesting (if not much longer), by stopping to listen to the first or second hand accounts at appropriate stopping points along the way. Commentaries, Twelve Caesars, Meditations (even "I, Claudius and "Claudius the God"). It has made for a very enjoyable experience.

Charlton Griffin is the voice of antiquity on Audible, I always look for his version if it one is available.

*All of these "histories" must be taken with a grain of salt. This is a *mostly* second hand account of the lives of the earliest emperors from Julius Caesar to the end of the Flavian dynasty

I got this recommendation from The History of Rome Podcast, but I find this book to be very rambly. The author keeps saying “he” instead of who he is talking about. The reader talks in the same pattern over and over again. I find it impossible to follow along.
