Meditations is a series of personal writings by Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor from 161 to 180 AD, recording his private notes to himself and ideas on Stoic philosophy. Marcus Aurelius wrote the 12 books of the Meditations in Koine Greek as a source for his own guidance and self-improvement. It is possible that large portions of the work were written at Sirmium, where he spent much time planning military campaigns from 170 to 180.

Una novela que nos acerca al otro lado de la historia -colocando a los conquistadores en un plano muy distante- y nos ayuda a comprender a través de los ojos de Moctezuma, Cuitláhuac y Cuauhtémoc lo que ellos mismos ignoraban y lo complejo que fue vivir la inesperada aparición de una raza de hombres, animales, armamento, lengua, costumbres, religión y una monarquía aterradoramente desconocidos.

En este segundo volumen, nos adentramos en las vidas de dos figuras tan complejas como intrigantes de la dinastía Julio-Claudia: Tiberio, el solitario sucesor de Augusto, y Calígula, el joven emperador cuyo nombre evoca extravagancia y escándalo.

En este libro, seguimos la extraordinaria historia de Vespasiano y Tito, la dupla de padre e hijo que restauró Roma tras el caos del año de los cuatro emperadores. Desde el ascenso pragmático de Vespasiano hasta la compasión y el liderazgo de Tito, este volumen explora cómo los Flavios transformaron el imperio, devolviendo estabilidad, prosperidad y grandeza.

Pocos nombres en la historia evocan tanto fascinación y controversia como el de Nerón. Este libro explora la vida del último emperador de la dinastía Julio-Claudia, desde su ascenso al trono como un joven prometedor hasta su caída marcada por escándalos, conspiraciones y una creciente impopularidad. Con un enfoque que combina el relato histórico con la exploración de su carácter, se analiza a Nerón como el emperador que intentó fusionar el poder con su amor por las artes, mientras su gobierno se tambaleaba bajo el peso de sus decisiones y sus excesos.

Deze in het Nederland vertaalde editie onthult de Oude Egyptische wortels van het christendom, zowel historisch als spiritueel. Dit boek laat zien dat de verhalen van de "historische Jezus" volledig zijn gebaseerd op het leven en de dood van de Egyptische farao, Twt / Tut-Ankh-Amen (Toetanchamon); en dat de "Jezus van het geloof" en de christelijke dogma's, allen een Egyptische oorsprong kennen - zoals de essentie van de leer/boodschap, evenals de religieuze feestdagen.

Few people have had as many words written about them down through the centuries as Julius Caesar—the brilliant general who made Queen Cleopatra of Egypt his mistress. He has captured the imagination of playwrights, historians, soldiers, and emperors. Little has been written about his ally, son-in-law, and eventual enemy Pompey the Great, who crashed onto the Roman scene as a victorious twenty-three-year-old general and who, at the height of his career, was arguably more famous, more popular, and more successful than Caesar.
