A History of Rome
by Eva March Tappan
6 CD Audio Book read by Fred Cooper

The complete history of ancient Rome from its legendary origins through the days of the Republic and the Empire to its eventual decline and fall. Meet the founders, the heroes, the leaders, the generals, the dictators, the philosophers, and the ordinary people.

How did the Senate come into being?

Where did welfare come from?

How did Rome hold its grip on the empire?

How did Julius Caesar come to power?

How did the Pax Romana usher in the ideal time for the birth of Christ?

When was Christianity accepted?

What kept Islam from sweeping into the control of the empire?

Who were the Barbarians, the Goths, the Vandals, and the Huns?

How did the Roman Catholic Church come to power in the later years?

An understanding of the history of ancient Rome is foundational to the understanding of English and American history as well as the story of Western Civilization! This book is scholarly enough to tell the complete story, yet so simply written that it can be understood by children in the upper elementary years. That’s what makes it adaptable as an audio book.
