This audiobook follows the life and legacy of the man whose life stood between Republic and Empire.

Despite all the accomplishments, widespread victories, and conquests that the ancient Romans accrued over the centuries, one of their most critical failures was the inability to subjugate Germany. Indeed, historians have singled out this one failure as central to the ultimate downfall of Rome, as the constant wars against the Germanic tribes and the need to defend the frontier on the Rhine helped bring the Roman Empire to its knees. There are elements of truth in such a conclusion, but the reality was far more fluid than is often realized.

Alexander of Macedon was only 33 years old when he died, leaving behind him a sprawling empire of impressive size, which encompassed dozens of different people groups, religions, cultures, customs, and - of course - problems.

For while the senators and consuls of Rome bicker and debate, the mercenaries around Utica are running out of patience and strain at the leash, on the verge of war.

No other civilization in human history has fascinated the world quite like the Roman Empire.

From the streets to the senate to the games, this is what life was like in ancient Rome.

It would be hard if not outright impossible to overstate the impact Roman Emperor Constantine I had on the history of Christianity, Ancient Rome, and Europe as a whole.

Las guerras púnicas (264 a. C. - 146 d. C.) fueron una serie de guerras entre los ejércitos de las ciudades antiguas de Cartago y Roma. Años antes del estallido de las batallas, Cartago pasó de ser una pequeña comunidad portuaria a una de las ciudades más ricas y poderosas de la región mediterránea. Cartago tenía una armada poderosa, un ejército mercenario y recursos abundantes para actuar como una autoridad en el comercio y la política.

Every great nation or empire has had at least one horrific military loss or disaster in their history, and the Roman Empire, perhaps the greatest empire that ever existed in the Western world, was no exception to this rule. While Rome certainly suffered defeats and outright massacres over the course of its long and storied history, none of them were as disturbing for the Empire as the battle of the Teutoburg Forest in 9 CE.

Mit Lucius Cornelius Sulla Felix wird in der Römischen Geschichte Grausamkeit und Terror verbunden. Als er 83 v. Chr. nach dem erfolgreichen Krieg gegen Mithridates aus Asien nach Rom zurückkehrte, begann seine Schreckensherrschaft, während der er seine Gegner ermordete und sich selbst zum Diktator erhob. In verständlicher und unterhaltender Form vermittelt der 1933 verstorbene Altphilologe und Historiker Theodor Birt Römische Geschichte und Sullas komplexe Persönlichkeit.

Seine Erfolge auf dem Schlachtfeld konnte er politisch nicht fortsetzen; vielmehr sah er sich in dem sogenannten Scipionenprozess mit dem Vorwurf der Unterschlagung konfrontiert.
