Overall a broad, albeit superficial, review of Roman history from its beginnings up to the immediate post World War II era. Focusing on major events and figures, it is an excellent place to begin.

A previous reviewer criticize this presentation because it didn’t spend enough time going over the lives of the common Romans. Well this may seem like a fair critique on its surface, it actually is rather unfair. Very little is known about the common people of any ancient civilization, because standards of living were so much lower than in the past century. The vast majority of people, even those who would’ve been considered well off, had very little they could leave behind to history.

Excellent summary of Roman history

How can you narrate a book on Italian history and keep mispronouncing Medici? Seriously, the narrator should be ashamed of himself. Of course many other Italian names and places are butchered too, but Medici? Come on!

Can’t even pronounce Medici correctly
