The Rise of Rome by Gregory S. Aldrete


 

5 out or 5 stars  *****

This presentation about Roman civilization is a delight to listen or read. The factors responsible for Rome's success as a thriving, expanding culture are eloquently communicated by the narrator who has command of the information in this historical account. The beginning of Rome starts with a Trojan war hero who survives the fall of Troy, Aeneas. His seed produces the twins, Romulus and Remus. Romulus kills Remus and Rome is born.


The parallels between then and now are remarkable. The same flaws in man exist to create political, social, and personal problems as a result of greed and pride corrupting power and causing divisive unrest. An historical account of this caliber is necessary for a people to study and improve their own history which intends to repeat.
