Description
From the hit Short History of... podcast comes the dramatic and thrilling history of Ancient Rome. Packed with vivid detail and extraordinary characters, this immersive account brings to life the rise and fall of one of the greatest empires the world has ever known.
Short History of Ancient Rome transforms 1,000 years of history into a riveting and action-packed account of the inception, expansion, and ultimate fall of Ancient Rome.
Combining impeccable research with gripping storytelling, A Short History of Ancient Rome takes readers through the dramatic twists and turns of the kingdom, the republic, the empire, and its decline in less time than it would take to watch the Gladiator movies.
Filled with the sights, sounds, smells, and characters that shaped Rome, this book brings the ancient world to life and tells you everything you need to know about this crucial period in history.
