History of Rome: A Captivating Guide to Roman History, Starting from the Legend of Romulus and Remus through the Roman Republic, Byzantium, Medieval ... to Modern History (The Ancient Romans) Paperback – October 20, 2020

It is an excellent book about the history of Rome.

This is a very rudimentary history of Rome that focuses on the city itself rather than theempire while also discussing aspects of both. The straight up list of emperors and popes gets tedious at times leaving one wanting more details, but the book is what it is at 200 pages. The writing style is very simple and appropriate for a young audience.

Informative and just what I wanted. Fast delivery

The book was more or less a timeline of facts, dates, and the names of people. Worth the read for someone looking for just a high level knowledge of some of the history. Not particularly insightful or entertaining. It also had a few typos.

I continue to be amazed at the level of detail the Captivating History books contain. I'm a history buff and read a lot of history books and watch a lot of history documentaries, The information I heard in this book not only corresponds or corroborates facts I've learned from other sources but includes new details I haven't heard or seen anyway else.

This book mentions lots of names in a short amount of time, sometimes. I hold my finger on the word and learn even more. This edition is well researched. It compliments other European history books.I so appreciate the audio that I got at the same time. He is British and pronounces some words different than me.

I always like history and roman history is fascinating. However I feel this book is a little rushed and has too many names

What an interesting journey back in time to the beginning of Rome. Through all of it's ups and downs until now it is a must read to understand how we developed as a western civilization and also what caused the split between the east and west.
