I was afraid to open the windows again because the demonstrators had surrounded the car and were pounding on the hood, the sides, and trunk.

In the Roman Empire, beneath crowded streets and busy markets, there were hidden rooms carved into stone. No windows. Low ceilings. Oil lamps flickering against carved reliefs. Here, men gathered in silence. They called their god Mithras. This audiobook takes you inside one of the most mysterious religious movements of the ancient world.

It began with political chaos, inflation, and a nation hunting “enemies within.” Hitler was voted in, welcomed, and normalized long before dictatorship was obvious. He promised to make Germany “great” again.
