Julius Caesar Libri

Pochi personaggi storici sono stati così decisivi e ricchi di fascino come Giulio Cesare. E pochissimi così sapientemente scrittori. L'equilibrio, l'eleganza e lo straordinario acume storico fanno di queste opere di Giulio Cesare due gioielli della letteratura latina antica. Gaio Giulio Cesare (ca. 100-44 a.C.), oltre a essere grande uomo politico e generale romano, fu uno dei principali letterati del suo tempo. Nato da nobilissima famiglia, nel 60 fece parte del primo triumvirato con Pompeo e Crasso. Console nel 59, proconsole delle Gallie nel 58, in otto anni conquistò la provincia gallica. Eletto dittatore a vita, fu assassinato da una congiura di repubblicani nel 44.

The narrative provides a detailed first-hand account of the Civil War between Julius Caesar and Pompey the Great, highlighting their rivalry and military strategies that shaped the early Roman Empire. It chronicles the intense battles across various regions, including Italy and Egypt, and examines the political implications of Caesar's victory, which led to his role as Perpetual Dictator and the subsequent transformation of Roman governance. This edition is noted for its premium quality and follows W. A. MacDevitt's translation.

The Gallic War, published on the eve of the civil war which led to the end of the Roman Republic, is an autobiographical account written by one of the most famous figures of European history. This new translation reflects the purity of Caesar's Latin while preserving the pace and flow of his momentous narrative. As well as an introduction and notes, this edition offers maps, a table of dates, and a glossary.

Between 58 and 50BC Caesar conquered most of the area now covered by France, Belgium and Switzerland, and twice invaded Britain. This title records of his campaigns.

"The Commentaries on the Gallic War" is Julius Caesar's firsthand account of the Gallic Wars, written as a third-person narrative. In it Caesar describes the battles and intrigues that took place in the nine years he spent fighting the Germanic peoples and Celtic peoples in Gaul that opposed Roman conquest. The Gallic Wars were a series of military campaigns waged by the Roman proconsul Julius Caesar against several Gallic tribes. Rome's war against the Gallic tribes lasted from 58 BC to 50 BC and culminated in the decisive Battle of Alesia in 52 BC, in which a complete Roman victory resulted in the expansion of the Roman Republic over the whole of Gaul (mainly present-day France and Belgium). "The Commentaries on the Civil War" is an account written by Julius Caesar of his war against Gnaeus Pompeius and the Senate. It covers the events of 49-48 BC, from shortly before Caesar's invasion of Italy to Pompey's defeat at the Battle of Pharsalus and flight to Egypt with Caesar in pursuit. It closes with Pompey assassinated, Caesar attempting to mediate rival claims to the Egyptian throne, and the beginning of the Alexandrian War.
