When Gareth Harney was first handed a Roman coin by his father as a child, he became entranced: by its beauty, its hardiness and its power to tell stories and connect us with the ancient past. He realised that coins, more than being simply markers of exchange, are metal canvases upon which societies could immortalise their ideas, cultures, personalities, tragedies and triumphs. His small tarnished coin, then, actually told the epic story of Rome.

Veinticuatro trepidantes horas en las calles, las domus y los suburbios de Roma: en medio de conspiraciones, traiciones y avisos de los dioses, nacerá el futuro general Quinto Sertorio y el destino de la República afrontará un giro irreversible. Idus de enero del año del consulado de Lucio Opimio y Quinto Fabio Máximo. El Senado de Roma se está convirtiendo en todo un campo de batalla entre las irreconciliables facciones conservadora y la de los seguidores del revolucionario Gayo Graco. A su vez la tensión, cada vez más palpable, amenaza con convertirse en violentos disturbios que incendiarían la ciudad más poderosa del mundo.

For listeners eager to experience Gibbon’s brilliant primary historicism, to understand the long decline of Rome—and the reasons for the Empire’s demise—there exists no better or more accessible condensation of Decline and Fall.

Auch nach seinem Untergang vor 1500 Jahren scheint das antike Rom hat nichts von seiner Faszination verloren zu haben. Ganz im Gegenteil: Es ist Zentrum eines neuen Hypes. In Serien und Kinofilmen ersteht es gerade wieder auf und der Instagram-Hashtag #RomanEmpire bringt es auf mehr als 1,3 Milliarden Beiträge. Woher aber kommt das ungebremste Interesse an dem versunkenen Imperium? Der Historiker Martin Verg geht dieser Frage nach und unterhält uns mit erstaunlichen Fakten, spannenden Geschichten und kuriosen historischen Randnotizen rund um das lebendige Erbe unserer römischen Vorfahren.

Four years after their departure for the east, the armies of Rome are bloodied and exhausted. Their victories against the Parthian Empire came at great cost. As Emperor Trajan stood upon the shores of the Persian Gulf, insurrections erupted amongst the Jewish populations of Cyrenaica, Egypt, Cyprus, and Syria. These were inflamed by uprisings across the newly conquered regions of Mesopotamia. Though Trajan defeated Parthia’s armies in the field, the campaign ended with a humiliating failed siege at Hatra. Disease wreaked havoc upon the imperial army, including the emperor himself.

One of the most remarkable historical works of the 19th century came from the pen of French historian Numa Denis Fustel de Coulanges, a native of Paris. This amazing analysis of family and religious life among the ancient Greeks and Romans is the key to understanding ancient Mediterranean civilizations. The story begins in the misty period of the Bronze Age as the Indo-Europeans began to filter down into the Italian and Greek peninsulas. They brought with them a patriarchy that was based on ancestor worship and the veneration of hearth gods.

The Roman Republic was one of the most remarkable achievements in the history of civilization. After its founding in 509 BCE, the Romans refused to allow a single leader to seize control of the state and grab absolute power. The Roman commitment to cooperative government and peaceful transfers of power was unmatched in the history of the ancient world. But by the year 133 BCE, the republican system was unable to cope with the vast empire Rome now ruled.

¿Sabías que Esquilo tuvo la muerte más tonta de la Historia, que la lengua de Cicerón acabó colgada en el Foro de Roma, que Dante se dormía en mitad de una frase y Maquiavelo no era tan «maquiavélico»? Pero aquí no acaban las jugosas historias de los grandes maestros de la literatura.

Una biografía completa del padre del imperio romano que resalta además los aspectos menos tratados de Julio César como su importancia como literato o su labor en Hispania. La vida de Julio César es una de las más apasionantes de todas las grandes personalidades de Roma: su ascenso social, sus conquistas, su capacidad como administrador, el complot que acabó con su asesinato y en el que participó su hijo, la sucesión, ya como emperador, de su hijo adoptivo Octavio Augusto, han dado lugar a numerosos manuales y ensayos, pero también a obras dramáticas.

De los hunos, y en concreto de Atila, su caudillo más importante, nos han llegado innumerables leyendas, todas ellas relacionadas con su capacidad de destrucción y su poderío militar, jefe de un ejército capaz de aterrorizar a las expertas legiones romanas. Se decía de ellos que no tenían rostro y que se comían a sus enemigos, y su sola mención vaciaba las ciudades: era necesario por tanto, un libro capaz de rescatar los hechos históricos entre el océano de leyendas.

"La Breve historia de los gladiadores" narra como en los Ludi (escuelas de gladiadores) fornidos prisioneros de guerra, fugitivos o delincuentes se adiestraban en las técnicas de la lucha a muerte, se enfundaban sus armaduras de samnitas, secutores, reciarios, tracios, etc. y se lanzaban a la arena para conseguir la gloria o la muerte. Asimismo, se narra la historia del Coliseo romano, construido por Vespasiano, con un impresionante aforo para 50.000 espectadores que era abarrotado por hordas de ciudadanos romanos, patricios y plebeyos para aclamar a sus gladiadores preferidos.

Ameno y revelador ensayo divulgativo sobre la historia de esta interesante y poco conocida cultura prerromana desde sus oscuros orígenes hasta su fin tras la lucha entre romanos y cartagineses.

He was Rome’s golden boy — beautiful, brilliant, beloved. A poet, a singer, a dreamer on the throne. But behind the lyre and the laurel, there was rot. This is not the story of an emperor. It’s the story of a boy raised to perform, handed absolute power, and slowly, irrevocably swallowed by his own illusion. Nero Caesar didn’t rule an empire. He directed one — turning politics into theater, cruelty into ritual, and Rome itself into a stage built to burn.

Prepare to embark on an unparalleled historical adventure as you explore the hidden intricacies of Ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome. This 3-in-1 audiobook presents a collection of lost stories and surprising facts.

Caesar Augustus schemed and fought his way to absolute power. He became Rome's first emperor and ruled for forty-four years before dying peacefully in his bed. The system he created would endure for centuries. Yet, despite his exceptional success, he is a difficult man to pin down, and far less well-known than his great-uncle, Julius Caesar. His story is not always edifying: he murdered his opponents, exiled his daughter when she failed to conform and freely made and broke alliances as he climbed ever higher.

Suetonius wrote his Lives of the Twelve Caesars in the reign of Vespasian around 70AD. He chronicled the extraordinary careers of Julius, Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, Nero, Vespasian, and Domitian and the rest in technicolour terms. They presented some high and low times at the heart of the Roman Empire. The accounts provide us with perspicacious insights into the men as much as their reigns.

The Roman historian Tacitus was a successful politician who eventually became governor of the province of Asia. He is thought to have died around AD 120 and benefitted from the patronage of the Flavian emperors. The Histories, of which only just over four out of 14 books survive, covers the years following the assassination of the Emperor Nero: Rome was plunged into further civil war with the Year of the Four Emperors (AD 69), which culminated in the accession of Vespasian, the first of the Flavians.
