A historical educational epic

I have been enthralled with the Romans for most of my life, funnily enough but experiences heated floor tiles and a passer by mentioning that this kind of technology sprouted from the ingenuity of the Romans. Ever since then, I have been so excited to learn as much as a can about this highly impressive and intelligent reign. Although Aeon history calls this an “intuductory history of Rome”, I think this is a far more far reaching project. Gary Bartley expertly narrates his way through the history of kinds, emperors, lengends, mythology, historical events, and so much more that could possibly be mentioned here. Excellent history stuff again from Aeon history.
