Do yourself a favour and listen to this.
Conn Iggulden makes learning about history exciting. Wish he was my history teacher back in the day!
Roberts narration is excellent and adds to the flavour!

Loved it!
I usually read fantasy, so I am extremely happy that I’ve found something similar yet outside that genre. I won’t waiting to listen to the next book.
Great narration too!

Excellent
Good narrative, well read. Other reviews about the reading being poor are from people it seems who have no imagination and want to be spoon fed. Don't read/listen to a book if you can't create the characters in your minds eye - go watch a movie.

Again ruined by unnecessary innaccuracies
The author again continues to ignore history, despite the large gaps in the historical record leaving more than enough room for storytelling. Moreover, he inaccurately describes Roman society and other things. Roman galleys manned by slave rowers? That’s a medieval phenomenon, not common in antiquity. A freedman getting someone else to sell him into slavery (not himself or a debt collector etc). A slave becoming a legionary - not in the late Republic. Ignoring Roman naming conventions eg Julia being so names because she was from the Julii. Caesar seeming to have dropped his first name ‘Gaius’ as a sign of adulthood and other similar nonsense. I cannot see any good reason for engaging in such nonsense. Similarly, I suspect that all the deviations from recorded history have done nothing to improve the story. As with the first book, why have Brutus as a contemporary of Caesar rather than Caesar bring his mentor and older friend? Why have Servilia as a high class prostitute when she came from a prominent Roman family and was reputed to be Caesar’s lover? Why suggest that Brutus’ family wasn’t prominent, when it was? It would take a while to list of unnecessary changes to history and inaccurate presentation of Roman customs and society etc. But the key point is: to what end? If the author sought to annoy me, he succeeded.
I gave this second book a chance, despite the disappointments of the first. But I won’t be reading or listening to any more from the series

loved it
loved it, historical inaccuracies aside it was a great listen. I read the books 10 years ago but even now the pacing of the narration and emotion add to the story.

Amazing point in history with such a mundane story
With such a rich parr of history to tell a story this is a bland story with little information on the major battles. It focuses more on fictional characters and is a waste of money for anyone interested in military history.
