Gaius Julius Caesar

Originally composed for propaganda purposes, Julius Caesar's war diary is one of the earliest examples of a military science manual, detailing arms technology, tactical maneuvers, battlefield politics, espionage, intelligence and even the role played by luck in ground and sea campaigns. This new 2017 print edition of The Gallic Wars includes a revised translation with modern spelling and punctuation. There is also an image gallery.

A military leader of legendary genius, Caesar was also a great writer, recording the events of his life with incomparable immediacy and power. The Civil War is a tense and gripping depiction of his struggle with Pompey over the leadership of Republican Rome - a conflict that spanned the entire Roman world, from Gaul and Spain to Asia and Africa. Where Caesar's own account leaves off in 48 BC, his lieutenants take up the history, describing the vital battles of Munda, Spain and Thapsus, and the installation of Cleopatra, later Caesar's mistress, as Queen of Egypt. Together these narratives paint a full picture of the events that brought Caesar supreme power - and paved the way for his assassination only months later.For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

This complete edition of Caesar's Commentaries contains all eight of Caesar's books on the Gallic War as well as all three of his books on the Civil War masterfully translated into English by W. A. MacDevitt. Caesar's Commentaries are an outstanding account of extraordinary events by one of the most exceptional men in the history of the world. Julius Caesar himself was one of the most eminent writers of the age in which he lived. His commentaries on the Gallic and Civil Wars are written with a purity, precision, and perspicuity, which command approbation. They are elegant without affectation, and beautiful without ornament. Of the two books which he composed on Analogy, and those under the title of Anti-Cato, scarcely any fragment is preserved; but we may be assured of the justness of the observations on language, which were made by an author so much distinguished by the excellence of his own compositions. His poem entitled The Journey, which was probably an entertaining narrative, is likewise totally lost. All of Caesar's works that remain intact are contained in this edition of his commentaries.It is to the honor of Caesar, that when he had obtained the supreme power, he exercised it with a degree of moderation beyond what was generally expected by those who had fought on the side of the Republic. His time was almost entirely occupied with public affairs, in the management of which, though he employed many agents, he appears to have had none in the character of actual minister.Caesar deprecated a lingering death, and wished that his own might be sudden and speedy. And the day before he died, the conversation at supper, in the house of Marcus Lepidus, turning upon what was the most eligible way of dying, he gave his opinion in favor of a death that is sudden and unexpected. He died in the fifty-sixth year of his age, and was ranked amongst the Gods.

Gallic War - Civil War - Alexandrian War - African War - Spanish WarBetween 58 and 50 B.C., Caesar led his army to twice invade Britain and conquer most of the land that is now France, Belgium, and Switzerland. The Gallic Wars served two purposes: to offer a record of Caesar's travels and insights into his military strategies, and to present the Roman public with a portrait of Caesar as a compelling, effective leader - which would be a key part of his public image as he fought off his rivals for control of the empire. Caesar chronicles his struggle to rule in The Civil Wars, from his crossing of the Rubicon in 49 B.C. through the death of his chief rival, Pompey, and the ongoing efforts of Pompey's heirs and followers to remove Caesar from power. As with the other volumes in the Landmark series, this edition - edited by Robert B. Strassler and Kurt A. Raaflaub - supplements the text with detailed maps, images, and annotations to place the work in historical and political context. And with stunning endpapers and color graphics, this beautifully produced, large-format hardcover makes a terrific gift for history and classics enthusiasts.

This is a new edition of The Complete Commentaries of Julius Caesar. Including The Commentaries on The War in Gaul and The Roman Civil War. Julius Caesar was a Roman general and statesman and a distinguished writer of Latin prose. He played a critical role in the gradual transformation of the Roman Republic into the Roman Empire. Caesar's conquest of Gaul, completed by 51 BC, extended Rome's territory to the English Channel and the Rhine. Caesar became the first Roman general to cross both when he built a bridge across the Rhine and conducted the first invasion of Britain. Caesar marched on Rome with one legion from Gaul to Italy, crossing the Rubicon in 49 BC. This sparked a civil war from which he emerged as the unrivaled leader of the Roman world.

`All over Italy men were conscripted & weapons requisitioned. Money was exacted from towns & taken from shrines. All the laws of god & man were overturned.' The Civil War is Caesar's account of the celebrated war between himself & Pompey, from his crossing of the Rubicon in January 49 B.C. to Pompey's death & the start of the Alexandrian War in the autumn of the following year. His unfinished account of the continuing struggle with Pomepy's heirs & followers is completed by the three anonymous accounts of the Alexandrian, African & Spanish Wars, which bring the story down to within a year of his assassination in March 44 B.C. This annotated edition places the war in context, enabling readers to grasp it in detail & as a whole.

In this volume are three works concerning the campaigns engaged in by the great Roman statesman Julius Caesar (100–44 BCE), but not written by him. The Alexandrian War , which deals with troubles elsewhere also, may have been written by Aulus Hirtius (ca. 90–43 BCE, friend and military subordinate of Caesar), who is generally regarded as the author of the last book of Caesar’s Gallic War . The African War and the Spanish War are detailed accounts clearly by officers who had shared in the campaigns. All three works are important sources of our knowledge of Caesar’s career.The Loeb Classical Library edition of Caesar is in three volumes.

Book VI of Caesar's description of his campaigns in Gaul deals with events of 53 BC, teh year after his major expedition to Britain. He suppresses revolts in Northern Gaul and crosses the Rhine to deal with maurauding Germans, then pursues the chieftain Ambiorix into the Ardennes, leaving Q. Cicero (the orator's younger brother) at Arduatuca with the Fourteenth Legion where the camp is attacked and casualties inflicted by German forces. The central section contains a description of the customs of the northern Gauls and Germans, in particular the practices of Druidism.Full annotation on linguistic matters, and a comprehensive vocabulary, makes this book ideal for post-beginners tackling their first Latin prose, or preparing for examination.

Cayo Julio César, que es uno de los tres más grandes capitanesde la Historia con Alejandro Magno y con Napoleón, es también unode los tres más considerables historiadores latinos, con Cayo CrispoSalustio y con Tito Livio, formando el ejemplar triunvirato del períodoclásico por excelencia, período verdaderamente «áureo» de las letraslatinas. Y Julio César es todo esto, tiene tal significación,precisamente como historiador de sí mismo, narrador de sus propiashazañas guerreras y de su política.Había en él, además de un excepcional militar y un no menosextraordinario estadista y gobernante, un admirable literato, másplural o polifacético de lo que, por lo común, suele saberse; unliterato al que, por haberse perdido varias de sus obras ajenas algénero histórico, no podemos juzgar en su integridad y de mododirecto, pero sin duda no muy inferior al historiador en el cultivo deotras manifestaciones literarias, distintas a lo histórico; un literato, enfin, autor del poema El viaje, de la tragedia Edipo y de otrascreaciones poéticas, del Anti-Catón, de una astronomía De astris y deun tratado acerca de los augures y los auspicios.Con todo, le bastan sus obras de carácter histórico, sobre lahistoria que él mismo vivió e hizo, protagonizándola, para que lejuzguemos conforme se dice al principio de estas líneas; obrasevidentemente originales, redactadas sin asistencia de personaalguna, en las que, lejos de imitar, se haría digno de imitación,afirmando notables cualidades y condiciones de historiador, demaestro de la historia narrativa. Sobrio y preciso, claro y metódico,brillante y colorista sin alardes, de acuerdo con la austeridad y laseveridad propias del género en sus más dignas concepciones..., asíes Julio César, historiador de sí mismo.

Julius Caesar (100-44 B.C.) is one of the most famous men in history, and his name was used to denote the status of emperor throughout European countries like Italy, Germany, and Russia nearly 2,000 years after his famous assassination.Before he won the civil war against Pompey the Great and ended the Roman Republic permanently, Caesar became a man of power and fame in modern day France, leading armies in the Gallic campaign. Moreover, Caesar wrote extensively about the campaign, giving readers a fantastic primary account of the history of the times. It was after the Gallic campaign that Caesar would eventually lead his legions across the Rubicon and into Italy, starting the civil war that he would ultimately win.

Гай Юлій Цезар (100–44 рр. до н. е.) — видатний давньоримський державний і політичний діяч, полководець, письменник, всевладдя якого знаменувало вирішальний перехід від республіканського ладу до імперії. Військова діяльність Цезаря на теренах Західної Європи в дохристиянський період докорінно змінила її культурний та політичний простір і залишила помітний слід у житті майбутніх поколінь європейців. «Нотатки про війну з галлами» мають особливу цінність, адже їхній автор — безпосередній учасник описуваних подій — полководець Цезар. У перервах між боями він занотовував побачене, пережите. Твір Цезаря, доповнений восьмою книгою, написаною його соратником, полководцем Авлом Гірцієм, став класикою історичної літератури.

• This e-book publication is a unique translation of a great Roman Emperor.• A new table of contents with working links to the individual chapters has been included by a publisher.• This edition has been proof-read and corrected for spelling and grammatical errors.From Chapter Caesar, advancing by moderate journeys, and continuing his march without intermission, arrived at Lilybaeum, on the 14th day before the calends of January. Designing to embark immediately, though he had only one legion of new levies, and not quite six hundred horses, he ordered his tent to be pitched so near the sea-side that the waves lashed the very foot of it. This he did with a view that none should think he had time to delay, and that his men might be kept in readiness at a day or an hour's warning. Though the wind at that time was contrary, he nevertheless detained the soldiers and mariners on board, that he might lose no opportunity of sailing; the rather, because the forces of the enemy were announced by the inhabitants of the province, to consist of innumerable cavalry not to be numbered; four legions headed by Juba, together with a great body of light-armed troops; ten legions under the command of Scipio; a hundred and twenty elephants, and fleets in abundance. Yet he was not alarmed, nor lost his confident hopes and spirits. Meantime the number of galleys and transports increased daily; the new-levied legions flocked in to him from all parts; among the rest the fifth, a veteran legion, and about two thousand horse.
