Rome - The Rise and Fall is designed as a bitesize, concise but easy-to-listen retelling of what happened to one of the greatest empires in history. The Roman Empire began with a boy named Romulus and ended with a boy named Romulus. Between the years 753 BCE and 476 CE, this magnificent empire rose in might, but died in misery. This story is derived from the narrations of the ancient writers who themselves were eyewitnesses and it draws upon the myths that invigorated the Roman spirit.

In the pantheon of ancient men of letters, none hold a more venerated position than the Roman historian, Tacitus, venerated alike for the accuracy of his chronicles as well as for the superiority of his style. He was a writer of unexcelled genius and consummate skill. But his work fell into oblivion not long after his death, and has come down to us based on the text of a single tattered manuscript from the Middle Ages.

The kidnap and rape of Io, Europa, and Medea started the conflict between the East and the West. You can throw in Helen if you wish, but Herodotus (484-425 B.C.) dissed Homer on this point.

No.“Herein lies my research as to why the Hellenes and the barbarians, the West and the East, made war on each other,” Herodotus stated. A war we are still fighting today. BECAUSE OF THE WOMEN is a transliteration of Herodotus’s HISTORIES.

His bombastic style, his intricate and complex sentence structure, and his flair for powerfully recreating the searing drama of historical incidents made him a favorite of teachers and pupils alike.

Plutarch’s Lives remains one of the world’s most profoundly influential literary works. Written at the beginning of the second century, it forms a brilliant social history of the ancient world. His “parallel lives” were originally presented in a series of books that gave an account of one Greek and one Roman life, followed by a comparison of the two. Volume 1 compares Theseus and Romulus, Alcibiades and Coriolanus, and Aristides and Marcus Cato, among others.

Die römische Republik hat ihr Gebiet hauptsächlich auf den Seewegen gegen Westen, Süden und Osten erweitert; nach derjenigen Richtung hin, in welcher Italien und die von ihm abhängigen beiden Halbinseln im Westen und im Osten mit dem großen Kontinent Europas zusammenhängen, war dies wenig geschehen.
