Seller's Description:
Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 0752414437. DJ is in mylar.; This new study of Julius Caesar's life and achievements follows the author's widely acclaimed books on Mark Anthony and Cleopatra, and completes her trilogy on the Late Republic. As Pat Southern makes clear, although we know what Caesar did, we do not really know who he was. Certain features stand out but do not make up the whole man-his staggering energy, the ruthlessness and determination to achieve what he wanted, the loyalty that he inspired in some people and the extreme hatred in others. He became close to being defeated in battle, but never lost a war. He caused the deaths of many, but did not proscribe thousands like Marius and Sulla before him and Anthony and Octavian after him. His aim was to improve, augment and streamline the administration of Rome and the provinces. To do that he needed supreme power, and in achieving it he formed the bridge between the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire.; 0.61 x 9.48 x 6.34 Inches; 160 pages.
