History of Rome and the Popes in the Middle Ages, Volume 2 - Бесплатная аудиокнига

This present work may be described as history of the medieval Popes, with the history of the city of Rome, and its civilization, as a background, the author's desire being so to combine the two stories as to produce a true picture of what Rome was in the middle ages.

Volume two will start with a continuation of chapter 6, dealing with the ongoing battles with heresy; moving on to the pontificates from Leo the Great to Vigilius; art and architecture in Rome, including its decline; and Rome's domination by the Goths and Byzantium.
