Dalle guerre sannitiche alle invasioni barbariche l'antica Roma fu protagonista di molte battaglie decisive per la storia dell'umanità. In questo volume, trionfali vittorie si alternano a drammatiche disfatte, in una avvincente successione di brillanti condottieri e improvvisati strateghi, di ciascuno dei quali apprendiamo caratteristiche e comportamenti peculiari: il carisma di Scipione l'Africano, la lucidità del console Nerone, il folle coraggio di Decio Mure, le frustrazioni di Grasso e il genio di Cesare. Senza mai ignorare i più famosi tra i loro nemici.

The classical civilisations of Greece and Rome dominated the world for centuries and continue to intrigue and enlighten us with their inventions, whether philosophy, politics, theatre, athletics, celebrity, science or the pleasures of horse racing.

Questo podcast si chiama "Rivoluzione Culturale". Perché "Rivoluzione Culturale"? Per due motivi. Il primo è che in ciascuna puntata di questo podcast andremo a trattare degli eventi (la nascita del cubismo), delle scoperte (eliocentrismo), delle invenzioni (la ruota, i vaccini) che hanno cambiato il mondo. L'hanno preso, l'hanno capovolto, l'hanno reso diverso, proprio come fa una rivoluzione: c'era il mondo prima della rivoluzione, poi nel mezzo c'è stata la rivoluzione, e poi c'è il mondo dopo la rivoluzione, che è completamente cambiato, irriconoscibile.

Una síntesis magistral de la totalidad de la vida romana, desde su fundación hasta su ocaso a manos de los bárbaros. En esta obra, Miguel Ángel Novillo López, emprende la necesaria labor de resumir los quince siglos de la existencia de la cultura romana con fin de crear una obra altamente didáctica, amena y rigurosa. Una ventana limpia a la civilización que sentó las bases de nuestro modo de vida actual. El autor traza un amplio recorrido cronológico para explicar las bases para la fundación de Roma y el posterior devenir de este pueblo desde la monarquía a la república.

 "Una obra que introduce en una larga y desconocida historia de siglos a través de personajes tan conocidos en el imaginario popular como Viriato, Vercingetórix o Boudicca y hechos que han provocado la admiración de la historia como la heroica resistencia de la ciudad de Numancia o el saqueo de Roma". "Breve Historia de los Celtas", rubricado por Manuel Velasco es un trabajo que le ayudará a conocer la asombrosa variedad de una nación que se extendió por toda Europa, desde Grecia hasta España, e hizo del mestizaje su bandera.
