Julius Caesar was a brilliant politician who became sole ruler of a
Roman Empire increased in size by his own military exploits. As a
military strategist he never lost a campaign; he was also a
considerable speaker and historical writer. A lavish spender, who
at the outset of his career was often hugely in debt, he had by his
death amassed by various means a personal fortune estimated as
equal to one-seventh of the entire Roman treasury. His influence
was profound and his sexual habits were the scandal of the age.
Antony Kamm provides a fresh account, for the general reader and
the student, of his life, set against the historical, political,
and social background of the times, with new translations from
classical sources. Julius Caesar also features key figures such as
Marius, Sulla, Cicero, Catiline, Pompey, Cato, Crasssus, Clodius,
Mark Antony, Gaius Octavius, who became emperor Augustus,
Calpurnius Piso and his daughter Calpurnia (Caesar's wife), and
Cleopatara, as well as the named and unnamed warriors who fought
for or against him and politicians who supported or opposed him.
For those people interested in the end of the Roman Republic and
the rise of the Roman Empire, and the great figures of Roman
history, this new look at an extraordinary man will be
indispensable.
