Gallischer Krieg

Gaius Julius Caesar: Der Gallische Krieg | Neuausgabe 2022 | Mit einem Vorwort, Zeittafel, rund 80 Fußnoten und einem ausführlichen Glossar der Personen, Orte und Volksstämme | »De bello gallico« ist das populärste Werk der antiken Geschichtsschreibung, und auch ein großes Stück Literatur. Die Sprache schnörkellos und klar, die Schilderungen prägnant und lebendig. Als erster Berichterstatter der klassischen Antike unterscheidet Caesar konsequent zwischen Galliern und Germanen, wobei er erstere als deutlich zivilisierter beschreibt, als die raubeinigen, primitiven Germanen, die für ihn ein willkommenes Feindbild darstellen. - Als Caesar in diesen Krieg zieht, ist er 48 Jahre alt, römischer Konsul und Statthalter dreier Provinzen, von denen zwei im Grenzland zum noch freien Gallien liegen. Der Kriegszug ist, wenn man so will, eine Karrierechance für ihn, um ihn der Alleinherrschaft über Rom näherzubringen. - Die Kämpfe zogen sich von 58 bis 50 v. Chr. hin. Am Ende stand ein »befriedetes«, also ein darniederliegendes Gallien, das jeden Widerstand gegen Rom aufgegeben hatte. Der Blutzoll war enorm. Caesars nächster Schachzug führte ihn mit seinen massiven Truppen in Richtung Rom. Die Stadt sollte bald ihm gehören.

Aulus Hirtius

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

Excerpt from C. Julii Caesaris Commentarii De Bello Gallico His enemies now made every effort to check him in his rapid pro gress, and if possible to crush him. The discovery Of the Catilina rian conspiracy seemed to offer a favourable opportunity: he was privately and publicly charged with being an accomplice; but not a shadow of evidence was brought forward, and there does not seem to be the slightest ground for believing that he could have embarked in that mad and senseless scheme. During his praetorship vehement disputes were agitated, on account of Cicero having put to death some Of the associates Of Cataline without a formal trial. Caesar supported the enemies Of Cicero, while M. Cato opposed him. Owing to the violence with which the question was debated, Caesar and one of the tribunes were suspended'by the senate from their offices; but Caesar's conduct on that occasion was so well calculated, and so pru dent, that the senate in the end was obliged to apologize for its hasty measure, and publicly to thank him for his moderation. This was a great humiliation for the aristocratic party, but they had brought it upon themselves. In the same year Caesar divorced his wife Pompeia, having discovered that she was carrying on an intrigue with the notorious P. Clodius; but he did not prosecute the Offender, because he was very popular, and a man of great importance to Caesar's own party. After the termination of his praetorship, Caesar undertook the administration of the province of Western Spain. His debts had at this time become so enormous, and his creditors so clamorous.

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.
