The magnificent glory of Republican Rome is threatened when a struggle for power erupts among the men who shaped its hard-won peace. At its center are two extraordinary leaders: Gaius Marius, the general who saved Rome from Barbarian invasions, desperately trying to extend his reign for a prophesied and unprecedented seventh term as Consul; and Lucius Cornelius Sulla, once Marius' most trusted right-hand man, now a dangerous rival hungry for his own taste of political success.

His victories were legend in battle and bedchamber alike. Love was a political weapon he wielded cunningly and ruthlessly in his private war against enemies in the forum. Genius, general, patrician, Gaius Julius Caesar was history. His wives bought him influence. He sacrificed his beloved daughter on the altar of ambition. He burned for the cold-hearted mistress he could never dare trust. Caesar's women all knew and feared his power.

Tracing the extraordinary trajectory of Julius Caesar's life, Adrian Goldsworthy covers not only the great Roman emperor's accomplishments as charismatic orator, conquering general, and powerful dictator but also lesser-known chapters. Ultimately, Goldsworthy realizes the full complexity of Caesar's character and shows why his political and military leadership continues to resonate some 2,000 years later.

Caesar Augustus's story, one of the most riveting in western history, is filled with drama and contradiction, risky gambles and unexpected success. He began as a teenage warlord, whose only claim to power was as the heir of the murdered Julius Caesar. Mark Antony dubbed him "a boy who owes everything to a name," but in the years to come the youth outmaneuvered all the older and more experienced politicians and was the last man standing in 30 BC.

Here is one of the best historical novels ever written. Lame, stammering Claudius, once a major embarrassment to the imperial family and now emperor of Rome, writes an eyewitness account of the reign of the first four Caesars: the noble Augustus and his cunning wife, Livia; the reptilian Tiberius; the monstrous Caligula; and finally old Claudius himself. Filled with poisonings, betrayal, and shocking excesses, I Claudius is history that rivals the most exciting contemporary fiction.

Julian the Apostate, nephew of Constantine the Great, was one of the brightest yet briefest lights in the history of the Roman Empire. A military genius on the level of Julius Caesar and Alexander the Great, a graceful and persuasive essayist, and a philosopher devoted to worshipping the gods of Hellenism, he became embroiled in a fierce intellectual war with Christianity that provoked his murder at the age of thirty-two, only four years into his brilliantly humane and compassionate reign.

Publisher's Summary
"The First Man in Rome was not the best man: he was the First among other men who were his equals.... To be the First Man in Rome was something far better than kingship...."
In the first century B.C. at the height of the Roman Republic, two men set their sights on becoming the First Man - the Roman more respected than any other. Marius, a heroic man of strength and means, lacks the noble blood to contend for the First Man, but overcomes his common status when he marries into the patrician house of Caesar. Sulla, a pleasure-seeking aristocrat without money of his own, is transformed by his ambitions into a fierce and daring warrior. Together the two men will shape history as they are thrust into a raging storm - engaging in deadly political contests and waging far-off wars for a state battling to hold on to its enormous power.
Rich with unforgettable characters and unerring historical accuracy, The First Man in Rome is a vivid tale of power, treachery, and a great Republic hurtling toward civil war....

MASSACRE! DON'T BUY ABRIGED BOOKS!
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
The abriged version has ruined this creative work--made it unoriginal and boring in presentation-- like hearing Cliff Notes! I bought and read this book years ago. To read it made me feel as though I were living in Roman times. The characters were so fascinating and alive! What a wonderful study of their culture.
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
To make it enjoyable, I would change Audible's story by having the performer read the whole damn book by one of the best authors ever! Will you butcher The Thornbirds like you did this book? The abrigment left out the creativity of the author!
It is like someone decided to abridge one of Shakespere's plays! How stupid!
What three words best describe David Ogden Stiers’s performance?
powerful, flexible, focusing
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
Definitely, I would see the movie. Visual information would enhance what can not be read in abriged audibles.
Any additional comments?
The performer did the best he could with what he had to work!
I WILL NOT BUY ANY ABRIGED AUDIBLES EVER AGAIN!

I don't recommend this audiobook
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
I actually think this book WAS for me, but the abridged version was confusing and flat. It wasn't the book or the plot as much as what I believe was left out of this audiobook version that left me dissatisfied with the purchase.
Would you ever listen to anything by Colleen McCullough again?
Yes. But not an unabridged version.
Have you listened to any of David Ogden Stiers’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I think he is a fine actor and narrator. Again, I think it was the material that I disliked.
What character would you cut from The First Man in Rome?
LOL...no! Don't cut anything or anyone else from this book! It is a mess as it is. The characters were well crafted but I'm sure in the original and unabridged version they are "fleshed out" a bit more and probably very interesting.
Any additional comments?
Such a disappointment. I am going to Italy and hoped to listen to this on the plane. As it happened I zipped through it so I could buy something else that had a little more substance to it.

ABRIDGED - CUT-- --PRUNED-----A GRADE-SCHOOL SUMMARY
If you disliked the books, purchase these Audiobooks - Abridged by Removing the work of the Authoress. Colleen McCollough's "First Man in Rome" Series is the greatest work of historical fiction -period. The research, breadth and scope of the work is truly incredible. These Audiobooks are truly crap

Why Abridge?
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
I generally listen while cooking and found this book an excellent companion. Stiers is a fine reader and an appropriate one to the material.
What did you like best about this story?
As a student of history I find the novelizations help me to visualize the personalities of history and the times in which they lived.
Have you listened to any of David Ogden Stiers’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No.
Was The First Man in Rome worth the listening time?
Certainly.
Any additional comments?
I suppose the abridgments are done as an economy however I find it a shame and a distraction.

Abridging this ruined the book
What made this book great was the descriptions of every day life in The Republic of Rome. The lengths she went to research everything had to have taken many years. She wove the culture and history into this series.The characters in the unabridged book are whole and have depth. All parts of life in Rome are there and fully explained. Once I started I couldn't put it down, then I read all the other books in the series.
This is a major disappointment, I wish I'd realized it was abridged before I bought it. Also, it's not available on Kindle, so I'll find the books I got many years ago and read.

SO GLAD i saved my old paperbacks! "ABRIDGED" BAD!
A Wurd to the Wiser:
Gotta admit i was so excited to see Ms McC's "Masters of Rome" series on Audible that i ignored the "ABRIDGED" category and all those negative comments.
It was only after i'd finished listening to it (AND blowing another credit on "Grass Crown") that i started remembering great patches of the book that were missing from the ABRIDGED Audible version.
AARRRRG!!!
The good news is that i got down to my dusty basement library and found that my old paperback set (Avon, 1990) had survived. i'm now happily rereading my old FMIR (#1) paperback (marked, "Nov, 1998") catching up on all the stuff left out of the ABRIDGED version.
Lovely delivery by DOS but nothing else to recommend this product. Wondering if Audible will see its way to refund my credit used to get "The Grass Crown, ABRIDGED"?
namaste,

God bless David Ogden Stiers and his wonderful performance / narration, but this is one of the biggest chop jobs ever. Entire characters and storylines from the novel are omitted. So glad I also read the book. This is way, way, way too abridged from the original work.
