Tracing the extraordinary trajectory of the great Roman emperor's
life, Goldsworthy covers not only the great Roman emperor's
accomplishments as charismatic orator, conquering general, and
powerful dictator but also lesser-known chapters during which he
was high priest of an exotic cult, captive of pirates, seducer not
only of Cleopatra but also of the wives of his two main political
rivals, and rebel condemned by his own country. Ultimately,
Goldsworthy realizes the full complexity of Caesar's character and
shows why his political and military leadership continues to
resonate some two thousand years later.
In the introduction to his biography of the great Roman emperor,
Adrian Goldsworthy writes, "Caesar was at times many things,
including a fugitive, prisoner, rising politician, army leader,
legal advocate, rebel, dictator . . . as well as husband, father,
lover and adulterer." In this landmark biography, Goldsworthy
examines Caesar as military leader, all of these roles and places
his subject firmly within the context of Roman society in the first
century B.C.
