- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A shaky start, but as it progressed the author’s way od writing slowly grew on me. All in all, a really good reference book (even though I can’t judge his sources as they do not get listed in audiobook forms - obviously). It’s an entertaining read as well, thanks in no small part to the many dramatic characteristics of both the Rome’s first emperor and his subjects.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Many lessons to learn from this book simple and entertaining and beautifully written
