In this masterful work, listeners will learn about: * the Etruscan civilization of ancient Italy * the birth of the Roman Republic and the beginnings of Roman law * the great reigns of Caesar and Antony * the people of Rome -- the artisans, tradesmen, and scientists * the places of Romes great empire * the beginnings of Christianity and its growth * the rise of Constantine and the fall of the empire Review: Well worth the effort to complete - Will Durant was not a concise historian. He did not see the history of humanity as a series of scattered conquests of monarchs or states with stagnation and dullness in between great wars. Instead, he saw eras for what they were: epochs in which human beings lived their entire lives. History is the history of people, not the reigns of monarchs unless the reigns of said monarchs impact the lives of the people. Thus, he paints as comprehensive a story of history as is possible. One can't help but be awed by the depth of his knowledge. In Caesar and Christ, he traces the interweaving histories of Rome and Christianity. But this is not just a narrative on the expansion of Roman borders. It is the life of the people who lived in those times, and how the rise of empire altered the way people lived. Topics studied include: the Arts in all their forms; pottery, literature, sculpture family organization, marriage, leisure, societal organization Roman government, the constitution and its alterations both from internal pressures and external conflict Religion Philosophy It is my opinion, through my own studies, that anyone who has read any other book on the Roman Empire is an amateur. Only once you have read Durant with his fullness of scope, can one become an expert. Will Durant is not a concise historian. Instead. he breathes life into a once-dead era, and through the thoroughness and breadth of scope gives us a far more comprehensive view of an era in history than any chronicle of a military campaign can ever do. Review: Valuable source of info on Roman Republic & Empire and of Jesus Christ - This particular volume of Durant is actually better than the previous one of The Life of Greece. It is readable and therefore, in audio form, even more enjoyable for those interested in history as a history buff or as a teacher or historian. Because it was written prior to 1944, it leaves out scientific evidence as to Jesus' death on the cross and to my recollection does not mention the cloth of Oviedo. He is not nefarious to Christianity and does redeem himself on several occasions, and to paraphrase him, he states: "in the arena between Caesar and Christ ... Christ won". The volume starts out rather briskly as it quickly leads the audience to the assassination of Julius Caesar and mentions Julius Caesar as being the greatest person of antiquity. I highly recommend this volume. You may disagree from time to time with his assessments or views but overall, it provides valuable information. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #4,733,207 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #327 in Ancient Roman History (Books) #3,785 in Italian History (Books) #4,605 in History of Civilization & Culture | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 107 Reviews | ## Images ![Caesar and Christ: The Story of Civilization, Volume 3 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81MFrlVZTPL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well worth the effort to complete *by J***S on January 26, 2014* Will Durant was not a concise historian.

Sometimes this history was too detailed. Roman politics was so complicated, and so much violence was violence going on all over the place! I sometimes had to fast-forward to get rid of the details. ## Frequently Bought Together - Caesar and Christ: The Story of Civilization, Volume 3 - The Life of Greece: The Story of Civilization, Volume 2 (Story of Civilization (Audio)) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/40883142-caesar-and-christ-the-story-of-civilization-volume-3](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/40883142-caesar-and-christ-the-story-of-civilization-volume-3) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
