About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of J. B. Bury's "The Students' History of the Roman Empire" Vol. 2, read by LibriVox volunteers. The writings of J. B. Bury (1861-1927), on subjects ranging from ancient Greece to the 19th-century papacy, are at once scholarly and accessible to the layman. This work covers the period from the beginning of the Roman Empire until Gibbon begins; from Augustus through Marcus Aurelius and the Antoinine Emporers. (Summary by kmerline)
