Exciting news, the Noiser Podcast Network has released a new book. It's called A Short History of Ancient Rome.

The book is everything you love about the podcast, but a deeper dive. 18 chapters - each one following the story of a remarkable person or event that changed Rome's history.

Today, as a special bonus, we're bringing you a sample chapter from the audiobook, narrated by John Hopkins.

This sample chapter follows Hannibal, the legendary Carthaginian military leader. We'll follow him as he takes his mighty army - including a contingent of war elephants- over the snow-capped Alps. His mission? To attack Rome.

If you enjoy this sample chapter, grab a copy of A Short History of Ancient Rome, written by Noiser founder Pascal Hughes – in your local book shop.

A great Christmas gift for family or friends.

Or, you can buy the audiobook – narrated by John Hopkins.
