Das Römische Reich ist kein weiteres langweiliges historisches Thema. Im Gegenteil, es weckt unsere Phantasie, erschreckt uns und unterhält uns. Es ist die Geschichte der faszinierenden Männer und Frauen - der Kaiser, ihrer Frauen, Eltern, Brüder, Schwestern und Kinder - die dem Reich seinen charakteristischen Charme verliehen. Einige von ihnen, wie Marcus Aurelius und Antoninus Pius, waren tugendhaft und weise; andere - wie Caligula, Commodus und Caracalla - waren monströse, wahnsinnige Raubtiere, deren Blutdurst und sexuelle Gewohnheiten unvorstellbar waren.

In ancient Rome, the use of slave labor in all levels of society was a part of the natural order. Eventually, like with any other empire, these less fortunate individuals, who found themselves with fewer rights than even livestock, would find the courage to stand up and fight for freedom against their all-powerful masters.

The period covered in this book is well known for its epic battles and grand campaigns of territorial conquest, but Hellenistic monarchies, Carthaginians, and the rapacious Roman Republic were scarcely less active at sea. Huge resources were poured into maintaining fleets not only as symbols of prestige but as means of projecting real military power across the Mediterranean arena.

The Netherlands has a history that dates far back, even before Roman times. Let’s take a look at what happened during the times of the Romans.

Let’s explore what happened to the Netherlands area during that time as well.

Cleopatra was a descendant of Ptolemy I Soter, a general who served the legendary Macedonian king Alexander the Great. She reigned over Egypt for nearly 21 years, and she first stepped onto the throne when she was just 18 years old. Her life was full of challenges and treacherous events, but she proved to be one of the most important figures in ancient history. Most historians who wrote about her were heavily influenced by the Romans, who had managed to erase her side of the story. In this audiobook, you will discover the truth about the last pharaoh of ancient Egypt.

En la antigua Roma, el uso de mano de obra esclava en todos los niveles de la sociedad formaba parte del orden natural. Con el tiempo, como en cualquier otro imperio, estos individuos menos afortunados, que se encontraron con menos derechos que incluso el ganado, encontrarían el valor para levantarse y luchar por la libertad contra sus todopoderosos amos. Estas revueltas se convertirían en guerras sin cuartel y pasarían a los anales del tiempo como las guerras serviles.

Volume Two of Appian's Roman History consists of his incredible chronicle of the Roman Civil War, which began in 133 B.C. with the conflict between the plebeians and the aristocracy over the attempted land reforms of the brothers Tiberius and Gaius Gracchus. Violence continues on and off for the next century, ending only in 31 B.C. with the victory of Octavius over Mark Antony at the naval battle of Actium.

Mil años separan a los primitivos dioses de la Roma arcaica de la implantación del cristianismo como religión oficial del Imperio de Occidente. Durante ese tiempo se desarrollaron en la antigua Roma una amalgama de creencias: desde los lares, los dioses del hogar, y las divinidades propiamente romanas, hasta los dioses del Olimpo importados de Grecia y reinterpretados "a la romana", pasando por los cultos orientales a Mitra o Cibeles y llegando al cristianismo, perseguido primero y adoptado finalmente como religión oficial.

Hannibal Barca, one of Carthage’s most influential generals, lived a couple hundred years before Christ, and has led many Roman troops to victory to conquer the surrounding nations. Famous were his battles with elephants he employed during tactical moves of cavalry and infantry armies alike. His resistance against the Roman powers in the Punic Wars have been praised and lamented worldwide.

Nicolaus of Damascus was a Hellenized Jewish scholar who lived contemporaneously with Octavius and lived to see him become Caesar Augustus. The work itself takes us through young Octavius’ life and shows how he was carefully brought up and eventually adopted by his uncle, Julius Caesar. But what is remarkable about this short biography is the care and detail with which Nicolaus goes about in describing the plot and assassination of Caesar. The aftermath of Caesar’s murder is explained quite clearly as Octavian steps up to claim his uncle’s inheritance.

More than 2,000 years ago one of the greatest military leaders in history almost destroyed Rome. Hannibal, a daring African general from the city of Carthage, led an army of warriors and battle elephants over the snowy Alps to invade the very heart of Rome's growing empire. But what kind of person would dare to face the most relentless imperial power of the ancient world? How could Hannibal, consistently outnumbered and always deep in enemy territory, win battle after battle until he held the very fate of Rome within his grasp?

En los Idus de marzo del 44 a.C., Julio César fue asesinado. Su muerte, señalada por la erupción de un volcán y la aparición de un cometa, dio origen al periodo más convulso y al mismo tiempo decisivo de la historia de Roma. En él se sucedieron guerras, cambios revolucionarios y grandes traiciones.

Despite all the accomplishments, widespread victories, and conquests that the ancient Romans accrued over the centuries, one of their most critical failures was the inability to subjugate Germany. Indeed, historians have singled out this one failure as central to the ultimate downfall of Rome, as the constant wars against the Germanic tribes and the need to defend the frontier on the Rhine helped bring the Roman Empire to its knees. There are elements of truth in such a conclusion, but the reality was far more fluid than is often realized.

Indulgence is at the heart of modern perceptions of eating and drinking for the ancient Romans. Of course, the history of eating and drinking for the wider population within the more than 1,000-year span of the empire was somewhat different. These feasts depicted in the images of Roman dining were relevant to only the very elite and ignore the fact that Roman society was rigidly hierarchical. What the richest ate was markedly different from the fare on offer to their slaves, and between these two extremes, there were numerous socioeconomic groups whose habits varied.

Appian of Alexander was a Greek historian who lived at the height of the Roman Empire during the first half of the 2nd century AD, having been born around AD 95 and died about AD 165.

He was a Roman citizen and held several senior-level public offices, both in Alexandria and in Rome.
