Summary
A detailed overview of Julius Caesar's Gallic Wars, one of the most important conflicts of the ancient world.
Julius Caesar was one of the most ambitious and successful politicians of the late Roman Republic and his short but bloody conquest of the Celtic tribes led to the establishment of the Roman province of Gaul (modern France). Caesar's commentaries on his Gallic Wars provide us with the most detailed surviving eyewitness account of a campaign from antiquity. In this book, respected Roman military historian Kate Gilliver makes use of this account and other surviving evidence to consider the importance of the Gallic Wars in the context of the collapse of the Roman Republic and its slide toward civil war.
Updated and revised for this edition, this accessible introduction provides an important reference resource for the academic or student listener as well as those with a general interest in the ancient world.
