With new evidence and meticulous research, Dr. James Lacey weaves a majestic and accurate description of who Jesus was.

Three years following the destruction of Legio XXI in Pannonia, former Tribune Tiberius Artorius Castus and retired Centurion Primus Ordo Gavius Lucifer arrive in Rome. Their political fortunes rest in their letters of introduction from the revered general and Governor of Pannonia and Upper Germania, Marcus Ulpius Trajan. As the two former soldiers embark on a life far removed from the Danube frontier, they remain ever mindful of Trajan’s cautionary advice; that Roman politics are deadlier than the most fearsome enemy warrior.

Un tramonto e un'aurora, un declino e un'affermazione. La fine di Roma assomiglia a due figure che si rispecchiano l'una nell'altra, ora opposte ora strettamente connesse, come lo sono due lottatori che si stringono reciprocamente nel tentativo di sopraffarsi. In questo nuovo, affascinante affresco storico, Corrado Augias ci presenta la Roma cristiana, raccontando le storie di uomini, donne, luoghi e monumenti che caratterizzarono la fine del vecchio mondo, e annunciarono l'inizio e il trionfo di una nuova epoca.

The extant letters of Pliny, written between AD 97 and 112, give us a unique insight into Imperial Rome under the early Antonine emperors. Organised into 10 books, the letters reflect a wide range of topics, mirroring Pliny’s own public and private interests. Among many other subjects, the letters also include an eye-witness account of the eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79, with the final book containing the exchange of letters between the writer (whose career culminated as Governor of Bithynia) and the emperor Trajan.

What’s the big idea? Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius believed that in a palace or a soldiers’ camp one can live a life free of envy and desire, neither pursuing pleasure nor fearing pain as one performs the duties life has assigned. I have worked to make his Meditations as understandable as possible. By the end of the book, the emperor’s philosophy will be crystal clear. So please travel back almost 2,000 years ago and join Marcus Aurelius as sits in his camp in the evening meditating on life.

For the people of the ancient Mediterranean and beyond, the city of Rome had been a symbol of power for centuries, and entering the early 5th century CE, the Eternal City hadn’t been taken by an enemy force since the Gauls had done it about 800 years, an unheard of period of tranquility in a world wracked with almost constant warfare. Thus, when the Visigoths, whom the Romans considered uncultured and inferior, took the city of Rome and sacked it in 410, the world was stunned. It made theologians of the newly Christianized empire question God’s plan on Earth.

Ausgehend von den beiden ikonischen Daten 753 v. Chr. (der Legende nach die Gründung Roms) und 476 n. Chr. (die Absetzung des letzten weströmischen Kaisers Romulus Augustulus) umfasst die Geschichte des Römischen Reiches mehr als 1200 Jahre. Das war nicht nur ein langer Zeitraum, sondern auch ein ereignisreicher - immerhin eroberten die Bewohner der Stadt am Tiber ein Reich, das bei seiner größten Ausdehnung 116 n. Chr. den Großteil Europas sowie Teile Nordafrikas und Kleinasiens umfasste.

Dalle origini del piccolo villaggio ai primi conflitti in politica estera, alla crisi della repubblica, alla nascita dello stato imperiale, ai suoi problemi organizzativi, economici, sociali e religiosi, per giungere sino ai tentativi di riforma della tarda antichità, l'audiolibro traccia in maniera sintetica le linee fondamentali della storia di Roma. Sono poi affrontati i temi relativi alla cristianizzazione, alle migrazioni dei popoli, al crollo dell'impero in Occidente e ai tentativi di restaurazione in Oriente. Infine viene gettato uno sguardo sulla perdurante eredità di Roma.

Diocleziano, che pure si ritiene aver posto fine con le sue riforme alla crisi del III secolo, è una figura di cui si sa relativamente poco. Le sue origini oscure, il suo ruolo nell'ultima grande persecuzione del cristianesimo, le sue dimissioni dalla carica imperiale nel 305, con la conseguente instabilità politica che portò, dieci anni dopo, al trionfo di Costantino: il libro traccia una sintetica biografia di Diocleziano mettendone in luce il progetto politico nel contesto della storia imperiale romana e illustrando i relativi problemi storiografici.

Als Gemeinschaft von Ausgestoßenen beschreiben die Römer rückblickend ihren Urzustand. Da ist interessant, wie schnell diese vermeintlichen Outlaws dazu übergingen, Bündnisse zu schmieden. Wie sie aus Bündnispartnern Vasallen machten. Dass andere Stämme ebenfalls nach der Macht griffen, war nur praktisch. So gab es stetig Druck von außen, der Verteidigung erforderte.

After the Western Roman Empire ended in 476, a host of new, primarily Germanic people inherited Roman lands, wealth, and ideas in Western Europe. The most notable of these were the non-Germanic Huns, but after them came the Gepids, an important but overlooked group. The Gepids were no less bellicose than the other Germanic tribes or the Huns, causing immense destruction throughout Europe and constantly threatening the stability of the Eastern Roman Empire. The Gepids knew how to use the powerful Byzantine Empire to their advantage and to make alliances with other Germanic tribes.
