Covering more than 1,000 years of history, and an empire that stretched from Scotland to Syria, Ancient Rome reveals in vivid detail all of the key political, cultural, and military events that shaped the Roman Empire and explores what it was like to live in a society that laid the foundations for many aspects of the modern world.

Engaging text cover every facet of life in ancient Rome, from art, entertainment, and fashion to engineering, medicine, and war.

Step back in time in the chapters of this history audiobook to discover:

- Explore developments in areas such as sculpture, religion, warfare, and engineering.

- Includes tales of the most dramatic events and battles in Roman history, as well as profiles of influential historical and cultural figures.

The most iconic buildings of Rome are brought to life, while the stories of ordinary citizens, soldiers, and persecuted groups from across the empire are told.
