    Praetorian: The Rise and Fall of Rome's Imperial Bodyguard , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 698min
    A riveting account of ancient Rome's imperial bodyguard, the select band of soldiers who wielded the power to make - or destroy - the emperors they served. Founded by Augustus around 27 BC, the elite Praetorian Guard was tasked with the protection of the emperor and his family. As the centuries unfolded, however, Praetorian soldiers served not only as protectors and enforcers but also as powerful political players. Fiercely loyal to some emperors, they vied with others and ruthlessly toppled those who displeased them, including Caligula, Nero, Pertinax, and many more. Guy de la Bédoyère provides a compelling first full narrative history of the Praetorians, whose dangerous ambitions ceased only when Constantine permanently disbanded them. De la Bédoyère introduces Praetorians of all echelons, from prefects and messengers to artillery experts and executioners. He explores the delicate position of emperors for whom prestige and guile were the only defenses against bodyguards hungry for power. Folding fascinating details into a broad assessment of the Praetorian era, the author sheds new light on the wielding of power in the greatest of the ancient world's empires. ungekürzt.

Now, the Solar System comes under attack for the first time since the war began, and many of the seemingly impregnable defences wrought by the Imperial Fists prove inadequate. With all eyes fixed firmly upon this new threat beyond the gates of Terra, who in turn will protect Dorn from the enemy within? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jonathan Keeble.

    Rufinus is dead, crumpled at the base of a cliff in far-off Dacia. Or so the world believes.

Rome is seething. Rufinus is back. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Piers Hampton. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/adbl/052954/bk_adbl_052954_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
