Length2h 48m
About this audiobook
He conquered Gaul, crossed a small river and started a civil war, ruled Rome as dictator and was stabbed to death in the Senate by men he had forgiven. Few lives have been told so often and understood so little. Julius Caesar Biography is a readable, accurate narrative of the whole life, from a crowded Roman street in 100 BC to the Ides of March in 44 BC and the years that followed. It is written for the intelligent newcomer: no Latin, no footnotes, no earlier knowledge of Rome needed. It is not a survey of the whole Roman Empire (Caesar died before the empire began) and it is not a life of Cleopatra, who appears only where his story needs her. It is one man, one career and one collapsing republic, told in plain English and honest about where the ancient sources disagree. Inside, you'll discover: If you want one clear, fair and vivid account of the man behind the name, start here.
