Marcus Agrippa was the man Augustus could not do without.

General. Admiral. Statesman. Diplomat. Builder. Best friend, trusted lieutenant and son-in-law of Rome's first emperor. For more than three decades, Agrippa fought Rome's enemies, defeated rival fleets, negotiated with kings, pacified provinces, and transformed the city of Rome. His military victories helped make Augustus's empire possible.

Now Robert Harris's new novel, "Agrippa," brings this remarkable Roman back into the spotlight. But what was the real man like?

Discover the true story behind the fiction.

This is more than a conventional biographical audiobook. Read by the author, this immersive dramatized adaptation of the book brings the ancient world to life, with selected historical quotations and scenes enhanced with sound effects.

For listeners discovering Agrippa through Robert Harris, or anyone fascinated by the people, power and intrigue of ancient Rome, "Marcus Agrippa: The True Story" reveals the amazing life behind the legend — and shows why the reality may be even more compelling than the fiction.
