Story
Walk a day in a Roman's sandals. What was it like to live in one of the ancient world's most powerful and bustling cities - one that was eight times more densely populated than modern-day New York? In this entertaining and enlightening guide, best-selling historian Philip Matyszak introduces us to the people who lived and worked there. In each hour of the day, we meet a new character - from emperor to slave girl, gladiator to astrologer, medicine woman to water-clock maker - and discover the fascinating details of their daily lives.

Story
Towards the middle of the third century BC, the Hellenistic kingdoms were near their peak. In terms of population, economy, and military power, each was vastly superior to Rome, not to mention in fields such as medicine, architecture, science, philosophy, and literature. But over the next two and a half centuries, Rome would eventually conquer these kingdoms while adopting so much of Hellenistic culture that the resultant hybrid is known as "Graeco-Roman." In Greece Against Rome, Philip Matyszak relates this epic tale from the Hellenistic perspective.

Story
Athens, 416 BC. A tenuous peace holds. The city-state's political and military might are feared throughout the ancient world; it pushes the boundaries of social, literary and philosophical experimentation in an era when it has a greater concentration of geniuses per capita than at any other time in human history. Yet even geniuses go to the bathroom, argue with their spouse and enjoy a drink with friends. Few of the city's other inhabitants enjoy the benefits of such a civilised society, though - as multicultural and progressive as Athens can be, many are barred from citizenship.

Story
The Spartans of ancient Greece are typically portrayed as macho heroes: noble, laconic, totally fearless, and impervious to pain. And indeed, they often lived up to this image. But life was not as simple as this image suggests. In truth, ancient Sparta was a city of contrasts.

Story
Kuriose Anekdoten, unfassbare Erzählungen und überraschende Fakten: die Antike bietet viel mehr als nur trockene Geschichtsschreibung! Schon die alten Griechen und Römer sammelten mit Vorliebe skurrile und manchmal skandalöse Erzählungen, um sie weiterzuerzählen. Die spannendsten dieser Geschichten stellt Philip Matyszak in diesem Buch vor: mit viel Humor berichtet er von abenteuerlichen Reisen, romantischen Eskapaden und vielem mehr. Auch wenn die ein oder andere Geschichte auf den ersten Blick unglaublich erscheint: ein Funken Wahrheit kann immer darin stecken...

Story
Vous trouverez dans ce livre audio 24 chapitres et un personnage par chapitre, pour raconter chacune des 24 heures d'une journée à Athènes en 416 av. J.-C., lors d'une pause dans la guerre du Péloponnèse. En ce temps-là se trouvaient réunies dans la cité plusieurs grandes figures du monde grec, dont Alcibiade, Aristophane, Sophocle, Euripide, Hippocrate, Platon et bien sûr Socrate. Mais l'historien britannique Philip Matyszak n'oublie pas les Athéniens ordinaires, qui ont contribué eux aussi à forger une civilisation dont nous sommes les héritiers.
