What if you could approach challenges not as roadblocks, but as territories waiting to be claimed? Imagine possessing the strategic brilliance of Alexander the Great, the unwavering resolve that carved empires, and the influential charisma of Cleopatra that commanded attention and loyalty, the persistence and genius of Ghengis Khan. In a world demanding resilience, vision, and bold action, the timeless principles of history's most formidable leaders are more relevant than ever.

Quintus Horatius Flaccus (65-8 BCE) wrote some of ancient Rome's greatest poetry, melding languages and cultures with youthful ideals and a realist's recognition of the dictatorial world around him. Horace is famed for his fine phrases, lyric sex, and guidance on how to live, but he was a poet maddened by war, and many of his most self-revealing poems have rarely been seen. He could be sublime and obscene, amusing and abusive, a model of moderation and anything but.

Erich Schnepel zeichnet in seiner Ausarbeitung den Weg nach, den die Gemeinde Jesu im Römischen Reich während der ersten vier Jahrhunderte nahm. Es ist ein Weg des Leidens und des Triumphs zugleich: Die Nachfolger Jesu erduldeten um des Evangelium willen die schlimmsten Leiden bis in den Tod, und – so erstaunlich es klingen mag – gerade dadurch triumphierten sie, wie der Herr verheißt: »Sei getreu bis in den Tod, und ich werde dir den Siegeskranz des Lebens geben« (Offb 2,10). Auch blutiger Staatsterror vermochte die Gemeinde Jesu nicht auszurotten.

Molti imperi scompaiono avendo lasciato dietro di sé un campo di sterminio, rovine, massacri e… niente altro. Roma ha lasciato una civiltà. Viviamo ancora nella sua legge, ci avvantaggiamo del suo sistema di comunicazione, delle poderose e geniali tecniche costruttive, parliamo la sua lingua, in tante e diverse parti del mondo. Alcuni dei popoli che sono stati interessati dalla dominazione romana non avrebbero poi avuto alcuna pietà quando, a loro volta, si sarebbero trovati nel ruolo degli invasori.

After decades of strife and a pair of bloodily savage wars, the Kingdom of Dacia is no more. With King Decebalus dead, and the surviving members of the royal family in captivity, an uneasy peace descends upon the new Roman Province of Dacia. The senate and people of Rome eagerly expect the return of the victorious Emperor Trajan. With equal eagerness, the people await the legendary great Dacian treasury, said to equal hundreds of tons in gold and silver, making its way to Rome.

The ancient Roman empire was the supreme arena, where emperors had no choice but to fight, to thrill, to dazzle. To rule as a Caesar was to stand as an actor upon the great stage of the world. No biographies invite us into the lives of the Caesars more vividly or intimately than those by Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus, written from the center of Rome and power, in the early 2nd century AD. By placing each Caesar in the context of the generations that had gone before, and connecting personality with policy, Suetonius succeeded in painting Rome’s ultimate portraits of power.

Rome wasn’t built in a day. Rarely have truer words been spoken!

In this audiobook, we will go on a journey together through the myriad of stages of the Roman Empire. From the first settlements, Shakespearean epics, the stories of mythological heroes, the merciless persecution of the Christians, to the eventual fall of the mighty empire, the tale will be laid out.

La antigua Roma: Vidas ocultas tras las leyendas ¿Sabía que a Augusto César, el primer emperador de Roma, le aterrorizaban las tormentas eléctricas? Este miedo comenzó en el año 26 a. e. c. durante su campaña en España. Un día, tras oír un fuerte trueno, Augusto vio cómo un hombre que estaba cerca de él era alcanzado por un rayo, dejándolo afectado de por vida. A partir de entonces, Augusto creyó que necesitaba la protección del dios romano del rayo, Júpiter, y llevaba amuletos y una piel de foca a todas partes.

The end of the ancient world was long regarded by historians as a time of decadence, decline, and fall. In his career-long engagement with this era, the widely acclaimed and pathbreaking historian Peter Brown has shown, however, that the "neglected half-millennium" now known as late antiquity was crucial to the development of modern Europe and the Middle East. In Journeys of the Mind, Brown recounts his life and work, describing his efforts to recapture the spirit of an age.

The charismatic Fulvia amassed a degree of military and political power that was unprecedented for a woman in Ancient Rome. Married three times to men who moved in powerful circles, including Marc Antony, Fulvia was not content to play the usual background role that was expected of a wife—instead she challenged the Roman patriarchy and sought to increase her influence in the face of determined opposition.

Nuvole scure gettano un'ombra sull'Europa del XVII secolo e colorano il continente di una nebbia oscura. Quando scoppiano, un diluvio di sangue e sudore si abbatte sui Paesi, distruggendo paesaggi e spazzando via intere città. Non c'è mai stata una guerra più spietata nella storia dell'Europa. Tra la costruzione di uno Stato e i conflitti religiosi, i soldati vengono mandati incontro a morte certa e i villaggi vengono rasi al suolo. Ma quanto conosciamo le circostanze in cui l'Europa viene trascinata nel disastro?

Che posto occupavano gli animali nell'antichità? Come noi oggi, anche i Greci e i Romani avevano a che fare con cani, cavalli, galline; avevano allevamenti, vivari, acquari, e adottavano pratiche zootecniche. Amavano i loro animali da affezione, mentre ne uccidevano altri e li mangiavano (magari dopo averli sacrificati in onore di una divinità). Conoscevano e usavano animali selvatici o feroci, o esotici come elefanti e pappagalli.

The year is 104 A.D. Two years have passed since King Decebalus knelt in submission to Emperor Trajan. The recent war between Rome and Dacia was brutal and costly for both sides. The graves of many thousands lie between the River Danube and the gates of Sarmizegetusa.

By the middle of the second century BCE, after nearly one hundred years of warfare, Rome had exerted its control over the entire Mediterranean world, forcing the other great powers of the region—Carthage, Macedonia, Egypt, and the Seleucid empire—to submit militarily and financially. But how, despite its relative poverty and its frequent numerical disadvantage in decisive battles, did Rome prevail? Michael J. Taylor explains this surprising outcome by examining the role that manpower and finances played.

In doing so, he offers us a new, brilliantly rich lens with which to understand the ancient world.
