Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Benjamin Soames' narration is the star of the show here. His dynamic performance brings each ruler to life, capturing their unique personalities and quirks. The pacing is spot-on, balancing detail with brevity, keeping younger listeners engaged. However, some of the more brutal aspects of Roman history are glossed over, which might leave older listeners craving more depth. Overall, this audiobook is a fantastic way to introduce kids to ancient Rome, making it a must-listen for history-loving families.
