Roman History, Volume Two

Volume Two of Appian's Roman History offers a detailed account of the Roman Civil War, which commenced in 133 B.C. with the struggle between the plebeians and aristocracy over land reforms proposed by the Gracchus brothers. Spanning a century of ongoing conflict, this volume provides rich insights into the civil wars' complexities, particularly after Cornelius Sulla's death in 78 B.C., although it concludes before the pivotal naval battle of Actium. Translated by Horace White, this audiobook presents a treasure trove of letters and narratives that illuminate the tumultuous era of Roman history.
