Summary
Two manuscripts in one audiobook:
- "Imperial Rome: A Captivating Guide to Events and Facts You Should Know About the Roman Empire".
- "Pax Romana: A Captivating Guide to Ancient Rome during the Roman Peace Period".
In the first part of this audiobook, you learn includes the following:
- The downfall of the Roman Republic and the emergence of the illustrious Roman Empire.
- Caesar’s life and conquests, as well as his ultimate assassination at the hands of his senators.
- The fascinating life of Octavian Augustus and the start of the Pax Romana.
- Gradual “reduction” in the quality of emperors, starting with bureaucratic Tiberius, who ultimately left Rome.
- The incredible life of Tiberius’s successor, Caligula, who gained much notoriety.
- The long reign of Emperor Claudius, whose two wives, Messalina and Agrippina the Younger, shaped the future of Rome.
- Nero, who (maybe) set Rome on fire, and who was most certainly a very unusual emperor with a penchant for the arts.
In the second part of this audiobook, you’ll gain new knowledge on the following facts:
- How the empire evolved from the former republic, and who the men were that brought about the changes.
- What made the reign of each emperor unique.
- What some of the more turbulent times during this overarching period of peace were.
- Who the best emperors during the Pax Romana were, and which ones were considered the worst.
- What role the provinces and territorial expansion played in the growth and development of the empire.
- How the Imperial Romans were stratified.
- What societal changes came about with the abolition of the republic and the return to a monarchic model.

"unlistentoable"
I don't write reviews generally but I do read them - this is the worst narrated book I have had from Audible - the pronunciation, intonation and stress are all equally terrible. Its like being read to by a badly programmed robot.
