Never have I felt history in this way. Rome has always been a favorite topic of mine ,but this brought Rome into reality showing me people doing things I can understand. People I see everyday and for the first time their wasn’t a distance between me and the past. To be honest it got very emotional as the world brought to life was so relatable and real I could feel its loss. If you want to cheer on Romans as they work their way up to honor then cry as they fall from glory then listen to this podcast. Thanks for everything Dan.

Brilliantly epic and accessible account of the fall of the Roman Empire. I especially like the way that Dan gets into the heads of the people involved in these historical events. This is how history should be taught in school. Instead of listening to a collection of dry facts and dates we get to live through these real events along with the real people that they happened to.

Easily worth the $10, this is one of my favorite HH podcasts ever.

This was an amazing series. Although I am no where near knowledgeable enough to personally validate the ‘truth’ of what Carlin is conveying, I feel as if I am being told a story that is being reiterated to the best ability of the factual evidence. I love Dan Carlin! This is now my 4th series set I have finished and am just continually amazed at the enthusiast level which Carlin tells the tale of our historical record. I never thought I could be so excited about history, but Carlin has me hooked on this journey to centuries past. Thanks for being amazing!

We listened to the first three episodes uninterrupted. They were great. They shed so much light on our own ‘republic’. We need to learn from the past!
