Story
Christmas is the single biggest annual event on the planet, a time for merry-making, over-indulgence, peace, goodwill, and the occasional family row. It’s as comfortable and familiar as a pair of old shoes and yet still glittery and exciting. But what do you really know about it? It’s stuffed full of traditions and rituals that most of us have been observing all our lives without having the slightest idea of where they come from.

A historical educational epic
I have been enthralled with the Romans for most of my life, funnily enough but experiences heated floor tiles and a passer by mentioning that this kind of technology sprouted from the ingenuity of the Romans. Ever since then, I have been so excited to learn as much as a can about this highly impressive and intelligent reign. Although Aeon history calls this an “intuductory history of Rome”, I think this is a far more far reaching project. Gary Bartley expertly narrates his way through the history of kinds, emperors, lengends, mythology, historical events, and so much more that could possibly be mentioned here. Excellent history stuff again from Aeon history.

Highly Recommend!
I absolutely loved this audiobook. It's interesting, comprehensive and well structured. Most importantly, my teenager overheard part of it in the car and wanted to listen and learn about history of Rome. That is a rare occasion in my household and a meaningful one I wanted to call out in my review of this book.
