Commentarii de Bello Gallico (English: 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 local armies in Gaul that opposed Roman domination. De
Bello Civili (The Civil War), or Bellum Civile, is an account
written by Julius Caesar of his war against Gnaeus Pompeius and the
Senate. Shorter than its counterpart on the Gallic War, only three
books long, and possibly unfinished, 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. Gaius Julius Caesar (July 100 BC - 15 March
44 BC) 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.
