Caesar (C. Iulius, 102-44 BC), statesman and soldier, defied the
dictator Sulla; served in the Mithridatic wars and in Spain;
entered Roman politics as a "democrat" against the senatorial
government; was the real leader of the coalition with Pompey and
Crassus; conquered all Gaul for Rome; attacked Britain twice; was
forced into civil war; became master of the Roman world; and
achieved wide-reaching reforms until his murder. We have his books
of commentarii (notes): eight on his wars in Gaul from 58-52 BC,
including the two expeditions to Britain in 55-54, and three on the
civil war of 49-48. They are records of his own campaigns (with
occasional digressions) in vigorous, direct, clear, unemotional
style and in the third person, the account of the civil war being
somewhat more impassioned. This edition of the Civil War replaces
the earlier Loeb Classical Library edition by A. G. Peskett (1914)
with new text, translation, introduction, and bibliography. In the
Loeb Classical Library edition of Caesar, Volume I is his Gallic
War; Volume III consists of Alexandrian War, African War, and
Spanish War, commonly ascribed to Caesar by our manuscripts but of
uncertain authorship.
