Caesar's Commentaries on the Gallic and Civil Wars... - War College Series

Carolyn Hammond

This translation aims to reflect the purity of Caesar's Latin while preserving the pace and flow of his momentous narrative of the conquest of Gaul and the first Roman invasions of Britain and Germany. The introduction includes a survey of Caesar's role and reputation in later thought.

The Gallic War

Julius CaesarÍs War Commentaries: Later Campaigns

The two great commentaries of Julius Caesar - the Gallic War and the Civil War - are united in this superb hardcover edition. The commentaries were devised by Julius Caesar as a means of gaining support amongst the plebiscite, securing his position against his cunning political enemies in Rome. The Gallic War details both the battles and the merits of imperialist expansion: together with fierce accounts of bloody warfare, we hear arguments for the advantageous nature of conquest in terms of gaining cultural influence and new resources. Caesar's Civil War offers his perspective on the chaos which engulfed Rome following the conclusion of the Gallic campaigns. The factional conflict, wherein Caesar was pitted against his former friend and ally Pompey, lasted five years and was the precursor to the creation of the Roman Empire. Translated to English by classics scholar W. A. McDevitte, this version of Caesar's Commentaries remains as authoritative and well-regarded today as when first published in 1915.

Gaius Julius Caesar

Gaius Oppius

This historical book is a sequel to Caesar's Commentaries on the Civil War, and it is widely assumed that his lieutenant Aulus Hirtius ghost wrote it. After the battle of Pharsalus, Caesar pursues the defeated Pompey to Alexandria, only to discover that his adversary has been killed by the Egyptians. Caesar later chose to ally himself with Cleopatra, sister of Ptolemy XIII, enduring a siege that resulted in the infamous burning of the library of Alexandria, according to Plutarch. Caesar turned his attention to Asia after winning the Battle of the Nile in 47 BC. The book concludes with Caesar's famous remark 'Veni, Vidi, vici' (I came, I saw, I conquered) after his victory over Pontus at the Battle of Zena.

The Alexandrian War

Ulia being relieved, Caesar, to draw Pompey from the siege, marched toward Corduba; sending the cavalry before, with a select body of heavy-armed foot; who, as soon as they came within sight of the place, got up behind the troopers. By this stratagem they could not possibly be perceived by those of Corduba. Upon their approach to the walls, the enemy sallied in great numbers to attack our cavalry.
