Sweeping and accessible, The Ruin of the Roman Empire captures the richness of late antique life and the colorful characters of the age, while offering insight into today's debates about barbarism, religion, empires, and their threatened borders.

Even the narrator seems bored silly

Go for something else

The narration quality is fine. But, I must agree with the previous review that the book is somewhat boring and difficult to really sink your teeth into.
Additionally, I found the author to be a little self-important and pedantic in his writing style.
Although not as extensive in its historical scope, I would suggest Justinian's Flea (also available on audible) over this book.

In this course, Professor Lawrence H. Schiffman imparts a clear understanding of what the Dead Sea Scrolls are, and even more importantly, what they are not. Indeed, everything about the Scrolls, from their long road to full publication to the haggling over dating and translation, has been shrouded in controversy. In these lectures, Professor Schiffman gives a fascinating explanation of the content of the Scrolls and the times in which the Scrolls were kept.

The recording quality is fine. But, I think the subject matter is not for a person with mild interest in the topic. Very interested scholars may enjoy this, but I found it easy to allow my mind to drift off on to other thoughts while I was listening and frequently had to play the lectures several times.
I have enjoyed other works in this series, but this one just did not hold my attention for long. In fact, I gave up listening to it about half through.
