About This Book
In the first volume of his ambitious series on the Roman emperors, Lars Brownworth examines the life and legacy of Julius Caesar, the man who transformed Rome from a republic into an empire. From his early political maneuvering to his conquest of Gaul, from his crossing of the Rubicon to his assassination on the Ides of March, Brownworth brings Caesar's world vividly to life. This is the story of a brilliant military commander, a shrewd politician, and a man whose ambition knew no bounds. Drawing on ancient sources and modern scholarship, The Caesars Volume 1 offers both an intimate portrait of Caesar and a sweeping view of the Republic's final, tumultuous years.
