　　Between 58 and 50BC Caesar conquered most of the area now

Britain. This is the record of his campaigns. Caesar's narrative

offers insights into his military strategy & paints a

fascinating picture of his encounters with the inhabitant of Gaul

and Britain, as well as offering lively portraits of a number of

key characters such as the rebel leaders and Gallic chieftains.

This can also be read as a piece of political propaganda, as Caesar

sets down his version of events for the Roman public, knowing that

he faces civil war on his return to Rome.

　　Gaius Julius Caesar was born in 100 BC into an ancient

patrician family. Much of his life was spent on military campaigns,

& he returned to govern Rome as dictator. His dictatorship was

declared perpetual in 44 BC, but his many bitter enemies hatched a

conspiracy & assasinated him later that year. S. Handford

translated a number of authors for Penguin, including Sallust and

Aesop.

Julius Caesar is an insightful historian, with a keen eye for

detail, as in this scene from the repulsion of the forces of the

German king Ariovistus:
