Author: Nick Holmes
Narrator: Nigel Patterson

A skilled storyteller, Holmes presents a riveting account of the wars, intrigues and personalities that contributed to Rome’s decline, with entire chapters devoted to single battles. Why did Rome Fall? In this gripping retelling of one of the most momentous chapters in history, Nick Holmes presents a new interpretation of an old story.

They met an empire weakened from war with Persia. Rome’s misfortunes multiplied as it made tactical errors on the battlefield.
