Well worth listening to
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, if the friend is interested in history. In particular, the book added considerable to my understanding of St.Paul's situation and of how Vespasian became emperor.
Any additional comments?
Here as in many of his other books, Dando-Collins gets a star taken off for his annoying use of modern military ranks. Each time I have to think to translate the modern term back to the Roman term; in books that focus on the legions, this is extremely tiring.

Entertainingly factual
With the exception of finding difficulty mastering the similar sounding names the author and narrator work well to explain a very complicated political miasma
