- the Etruscan civilization of ancient Italy - the birth of the Roman Republic and the beginnings of Roman law - the great reigns of Caesar and Antony - the people of Rome—the artisans, tradesmen, and scientists - the places of Rome's great empire - the beginnings of Christianity and its growth - the rise of Constantine and the fall of the empire
Critics Review
“Durant’s
history of Rome and early Christianity…is solid and well written—and narrator
Grover Gardner’s easy professionalism does it justice…He varies intonation by
matching the sense of the text without falling into repetitive patterns, and
with his effortlessly perfect pacing, his narration flows like conversation,
but not too informally…His is a self-effacing art that hides art; his reading
is a demonstration of how to narrate intelligent nonfiction without effort or
obtrusive mannerism, allowing the text to shine, never dull or repetitious, but
consistently listenable and enjoyable.”
