The History of Rome, Book 2

This audiobook presents the second volume of Theodore Mommsen’s historical account of Rome, beginning in 509 BC with the establishment of the Roman Republic and tracing its political and military expansion through early conflicts with neighboring tribes and Greek city-states. It covers centuries of Rome's efforts to unify Italy, survive invasions, and assert dominance over rival cultures, culminating in the conquest of the Greek city-states. The narrative offers a detailed overview of Rome’s formative period, though it is best suited for listeners with a solid interest or background in Roman history.
