    The Flavian Dynasty: The History of the Roman Empire During the Reigns of Vespasian, Titus, and Domitian , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 134min
    The 12 months known in history as the "Year of the Four Emperors" was a pivotal chapter in the long epoch of the Roman Empire. It marked the tumultuous end of the Julio-Claudian dynasty and the advent of a year of civil war, renewal, and realignment, the result of which was the establishment of a new era and the founding of a new (and arguably more rational and responsible) imperial dynasty.The controversial year began with the decline of the Julio-Claudian dynasty under the rule of Emperor Nero, the last ruler of a dynasty founded by Julius Caesar, who was perhaps the most famous Roman emperor that ever was. The Julio-Claudian succession included such names as Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, and of course Nero - names that resonate with great power throughout the chronicles of Roman history, in many cases, thanks to the violence, madness, misrule, and decadence that seemed to take root at the center of imperial Rome at the dawn of the common era.Having left no heir, Nero’s death plunged the empire into confusion and chaos, bringing to an end the Julio-Claudian lineage while at the same time offering no clear rule of succession. This presented the opportunity for influential individuals in the empire, and in particular provincial governors who also commanded large military garrisons, to express and further their own ambitions to power. The result was a period of instability and civil war as several pretenders to the throne, among them the emperors Galba, Otho, and Vitellius, gained and lost power until, finally, the emperor Vespasian seized and retained the imperial principate.Vespasian imposed order and discipline on a chaotic empire and founded the Flavian Dynasty, which survived until AD 96, encompassing the reigns of Vespasian and his two sons, Titus (AD 79-81) and Domitian (AD 81-96). The Flavian Dynasty also ended in brutality, with Domitian being hacked to death by his own secretarial staff in AD 96. In between, however, Ves ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gregory T.

    Domina: The Women Who Made Imperial Rome , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 760min
    A captivating popular history that shines a light on the notorious Julio-Claudian women who forged an empire Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, and Nero - these are the names history associates with the early Roman Empire. Yet, not a single one of these emperors was the blood son of his predecessor. In this captivating history, a prominent scholar of the era documents the Julio-Claudian women whose bloodline, ambition, and ruthlessness made it possible for the emperors' line to continue. Eminent scholar Guy de la Bedoyere, author of Praetorian, asserts that the women behind the scenes - including Livia, Octavia, and the elder and younger Agrippina - were the true backbone of the dynasty. De la Bedoyere draws on the accounts of ancient Roman historians to revisit a familiar time from a completely fresh vantage point. Anyone who enjoys I, Claudius will be fascinated by this study of dynastic power and gender interplay in ancient Rome. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Julian Elfer.

    The Life of Nero Claudius Caesar , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 144min
    Suetonius’ account of the life of Nero does not shy away from the emperor’s alleged barbarism. In this biography from The Twelve Caesars, the Roman historian recounts numerous examples of Nero’s narcissism, perversion, and cruelty. It is from this account that we get the legend that Nero “fiddled as Rome burned.” When the heirless emperor ended his own life, it marked he fall of the Julio-Claudian empire and led to rejoicing in the streets. ungekürzt.

    The Annals of Tacitus: Excerpts , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 270min
    The Annals, the last and greatest achievement of Tacitus, records the history of the Julio-Claudian emperors from the death of Augustus (A.D. 14) to the reign of Nero (54–68). These are stories of mutiny and murder, of whole armies disappearing beyond the Rhine, of an unstable and gloomy frontier. Tacitus brings us Nero himself, whose reign saw the burning of Rome and the mass slaughter of Christians, and whose vices still captivate and startle us with their imagination and cruelty. ungekürzt.
