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.

This present work may be described as history of the medieval Popes, with the history of the city of Rome, and its civilization, as a background, the author's desire being so to combine the two stories as to produce a true picture of what Rome was in the middle ages. Volume one will deal with the state of the Roman Empire at the end of the fourth century, the final struggle between Paganism and Christianity (AD 394), the rise of the Primacy of Peter, and the church's struggle with Arianism.

Rome did not fear wine. It feared what wine could gather. When the cult of Bacchus spread through the Roman Republic, it was more than a religious movement. It was secret meetings. Night rituals. Shared vows. A god who did not answer to the Senate. In 186 BCE, the state struck back. The Bacchanalian scandal led to investigations, arrests, and one of the most dramatic religious suppressions in Roman history. Yet Bacchus survived. This audiobook traces the rise of Rome’s wine god from his Greek origins to his transformation within Roman society.
