The Protestant Reformation is often associated most closely with Martin Luther, and it’s often considered to have started when Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg on October 31, 1517. However, the Reformation cannot be reduced to a single, abrupt, and exceptional event, but must be traced to a much longer process of spiritual, social, and intellectual transformation that unfolded over the late medieval period.

Here, men gathered in silence. They called their god Mithras. This audiobook takes you inside one of the most mysterious religious movements of the ancient world. Not through lectures or abstract theology, but through lived experience. Through the daily routines of soldiers on distant frontiers. Through whispered initiations. Through shared meals eaten in the glow of underground firelight. You will enter the mithraeum.

When all seemed lost, one young general rose to the challenge: Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus; and changed the course of history forever.

Traversing more than seven hundred years of Roman history, this book explores how everyday Romans swapped gossip, spread rumors, told jokes, and chanted protests about their emperors—activity that amounted to much more than idle chatter. Caillan Davenport uses ancient evidence, including letters, graffiti, and songs, to reveal how Romans engaged in politics outside the senate house or imperial council. He argues that the idea of the Roman emperor was shaped not only by the political powers granted to him but also by the debate taking place in the streets, churches, taverns, and markets.

One of ancient Rome's most significant legacies is a legal framework for hereditary slavery. Under the Roman principle that would come to be known as partus sequitur ventrem (the offspring follows the womb), enslaved women bore enslaved children regardless of the identity of the child's father. For centuries, across the globe, this legal doctrine was invoked to justify control over enslaved women's reproductive labor.

In The Last Roman General, you will follow the astonishing rise and quiet fall of the man who restored Rome when it seemed beyond saving.

In Die Germania liefert Publius Cornelius Tacitus ein einzigartiges ethnografisches Porträt der germanischen Stämme. Der römische Historiker beschreibt Bräuche, Gesellschaftsstrukturen und Charaktereigenschaften – teils bewundernd, teils kritisch. Tacitus' Darstellung ist geprägt von Staunen, Klischees und politischem Kalkül – aber auch von echtem Interesse an einer Kultur, die dem römischen Imperium fremd, rau und faszinierend erschien.
