Makes an excellent companion with their Famous Greeks book.

Great Historical Document

(4 Sterne)

Enjoyed this offering with really interesting historical information about a range of famous Roman Rulers. Would have liked a more expansive section on Julius Ceasar, who I thought was only given a reasonably brief coverage. And Caligula didn't even get a guernsy. But the readers for the most part did an excellent job retaining the listeners interest, except for the lady at the end who was a bit expressionless and the accent was difficult to understand.

Well written; More like a story than history.

This was a fun piece to listen to. Although it was historical it read more like fiction than anything. Most readers were pleasant. Good lessons to follow.

I want to be able to listen to the book but it won’t listen let me listen to it until I review it. Hard to review it if I can’t listen.

great for the nle!

As a student who is studying for the nle I am finding this very helpful. Thank you ! :)

These stories sounds like fairy tales. Not a historian so not sure how accurate they are.

Only Caesar and Nero are interesting

(5 Sterne)

Greece is much more interesting.
