(4.5 stars)

Very good, but I Like Story of The Greeks a tad More. The Romans sure are STUPID. this book emphasizes a lot on how vain and greedy the Romans are.


(4 stars)

This book was really good. I had to do it for school. I really liked it except for some of the parts where they would use different languages. Other than that 10 out of 10 book .


(3.5 stars)

(3.5 stars)

shallow and a bit boring but good I think that it's a good book 📚📖

good but dated


(5 stars)

Readers did a great job and constantly changing readers was not distracting as might be expected. The material was decent but obviously from an old fashion Christian mentality. I was hoping to hear about all the great a wonderful things the Romans did but instead the writing was more focused on making them look violent and ignorant. I modern unbiased version of this book would be amazing.
