Enhanced with expert introductions, detailed notes, maps, and a glossary, it stands as the definitive Oxford World’s Classics edition, highly rated by readers and essential for anyone seeking deep historical and cultural insight into the end of the Roman Republic. ## Description The Gallic War , published on the eve of the civil war which led to the end of the Roman Republic, is an autobiographical account written by one of the most famous figures of European history. On one level a straightforward narrative of the campaigns Caesar fought against the Gauls, Germans and Britons, it also serves a deeper political purpose, revealing him as a commander of breathtaking flair, courage and persistence - a man of the people, a man without rival. This new translation reflects the purity of Caesar's Latin while preserving the pace and flow of his momentous narrative of the conquest of Gaul and the first Roman invasions of Britain and Germany. The introduction includes a survey of Caesar's role and reputation in later thought, while detailed notes, maps, a table of dates, and glossary make this the most useful edition available.

Review: One of the most influential ancient sources. - Such an interesting, first-hand account of one Caesars greatest military achievements. Also a great ethnographical account of the Gallic, German and Celtic-British tribes that made up the barbarian world in what the Romans termed oikuomene, the limit of the civilised world. The two landings on the island of Britannia, almost a hundred years before Claudius' invasion, are a wonderful account of the first contact with Britains ancestors. A great and exciting primary literary source! Review: Caesar's Gallic War Translation of Seven Commentaries - Very pleased with this purchase. Excellent condition.
