About this listen

Two manuscripts in one audiobook:

  • "Imperial Rome: A Captivating Guide to Events and Facts You Should Know About the Roman Empire".
  • "Pax Romana: A Captivating Guide to Ancient Rome during the Roman Peace Period".

In the first part of this audiobook, you learn includes the following:

  • The downfall of the Roman Republic and the emergence of the illustrious Roman Empire.
  • Caesar’s life and conquests, as well as his ultimate assassination at the hands of his senators.
  • The fascinating life of Octavian Augustus and the start of the Pax Romana.
  • Gradual “reduction” in the quality of emperors, starting with bureaucratic Tiberius, who ultimately left Rome.
  • The incredible life of Tiberius’s successor, Caligula, who gained much notoriety.
  • The long reign of Emperor Claudius, whose two wives, Messalina and Agrippina the Younger, shaped the future of Rome.
  • Nero, who (maybe) set Rome on fire, and who was most certainly a very unusual emperor with a penchant for the arts.

In the second part of this audiobook, you’ll gain new knowledge on the following facts:

  • How the empire evolved from the former republic, and who the men were that brought about the changes.
  • What made the reign of each emperor unique.
  • What some of the more turbulent times during this overarching period of peace were.
  • Who the best emperors during the Pax Romana were, and which ones were considered the worst.
  • What role the provinces and territorial expansion played in the growth and development of the empire.
  • How the Imperial Romans were stratified.
  • What societal changes came about with the abolition of the republic and the return to a monarchic model.
