Masterpiece!
Matthew –
$10 very well spent. Some of the best Roman history I’ve ever heard.

I cannot recommend this series enough. In 2014 I was fortunate enough to visit Rome. Walking through the Forum, the Colosseum, and the many other historical monuments littered throughout the old city, the drama and horror of the events told in Mr. Carlin’s unique and chilling way were playing through my mind. Every HH episode is amazing, but this series is definitely a standout and a must for anyone with even a moderate interest in Roman history and culture.

Dan should be charging $99.
Im not sure how I came across Dan’s work but from now on when I think about books and learning about people and history there’s a BDC and an ADC.
It’s interesting, entertaining and so comprehensive that it gives the subject great great respect.

I have listened over and over to this series. I absolutely love it, it is in my mind Dan`s best work. It is so good, that each time I listen to it, I commit a little bit more to memory and by now I can give a turn by turn account on the downfall of the Republic. Combine this with the History of Rome Podcast by Duncan and you can really become an armchair expert.
