R4,440 Discovery Miles 44 400 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

How the bodies of slaves are pictured in art and written or spoken about is revealing of the attitudes of those who were depicting them, often with the intention of influencing the attitudes of others. Slaves could be presented as inferior to free people, and almost subhuman. Conversely, emphasis could be laid upon their essential humanity and even nobility.

'The enemy were overpowered and took to flight. The Romans pursued as far as their strength enabled them to run'

Between 58 and 50 BC Julius Caesar conquered most of the area now covered by France, Belgium and Switzerland, and invaded Britain twice, and The Conquest of Gaul is his record of these campaigns. Caesar’s narrative offers insights into his military strategy and paints a fascinating picture of his encounters with the inhabitants of Gaul and Britain, as well as lively portraits of the rebel leader Vercingetorix and other Gallic chieftains. The Conquest of Gaul can also be read as a piece of political propaganda, as Caesar sets down his version of events for the Roman public, knowing he faces civil war on his return to Rome.

Revised and updated by Jane Gardner, S. A. Handford’s translation brings Caesar’s lucid and exciting account to life for modern readers. This volume includes a glossary of persons and places, maps, appendices and suggestions for further reading.
