I found this great resource about the whole Roman History, they have a series of weekly podcasts that :
traces the history of the Roman Empire, beginning with Aeneas's arrival in Italy and ending (someday) with the exile of Romulus Augustulus, last Emperor of the Western Roman Empire 
The podcasts can be downloaded on iTunes from here


They also have an accompanying website, that you should take a look at, its really good and has illustrations and photos to go along with the podcasts.
