Reseña del editor
This is a fresh account of Julius Caesar - the brilliant politician and intriguing figure who became sole ruler of the Roman Empire.
Julius Caesar examines key figures such as Marius, Sulla, Cicero, Mark Antony, Gaius Octavius (emperor Augustus), Calpurnia and Cleopatra, as well as the unnamed warriors who fought for and against him, and politicians who supported and opposed him.
Including new translations from classical sources, Antony Kamm sets Caesar’s life against the historical, political and social background of the times and addresses key issues:
- Did Caesar destroy the Republic?
- What was the legality of his position and the moral justifications of his actions
- How good a general was he?
- What was his relationship with Cleopatra?
- Why was he assassinated?
- What happened next?
This is Caesar – the lavish spender, the military strategist, a considerable orator and historical writer, and probably the most influential figure of his time - in all his historical glory.
Students of Rome and its figures will find this an enthralling, eye-opening addition to their course reading.

From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Minimal staining on bottom edge, allover very good and clean. / Minimale Anschmutzung auf Fußschnitt, insgesamt sehr gut und sauber. - DID CAESAR DESTROY THE REPUBLIC? WHAT WERE THE LEGALITY OF HIS POSITION AND THE MORAL JUSTIFICATION FOR HIS ACTIONS? HOW GOOD A GENERAL REALLY WAS HE? WHAT WAS HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH CLEOPATRA? WHY WAS HE ASSASSINATED? WHAT HAPPENED NEXT? Julius Caesar was a brilliant politician who became sole ruler of a Roman empire increased in size by his own military exploits. As a military strategist he never lost a campaign; he was also a considerable speaker and historical writer. A lavish spender, who at the outset of his career was often hugely in debt, he had by his death amassed by various means a personal fortune estimated as equal to one-seventh of the entire Roman treasury. His influence was profound and his sexual habits were the scandal of the age. Antony Kamm provides a fresh account, for the general reader and the student, of Caesar's life, set against the historical, political, and social background of the times, with new translations from classical sources. Also featured are key figures such as Marius, Sulla, Cicero, Catiline, Pompey, Cato, Crassus, Clodius, Mark Antony, Servilia and her son Brutus, Gaius Octavius, who became the emperor Augustus, and his sister Octavia, Calpurnius Piso and his daughter Calpurnia (Caesar's wife), and Cleopatra, as well as the politicians who supported or opposed him and the military men who fought for or against him. For those people interested in the end of the Roman republic and the growth of the Roman empire, and the great figures of Roman history, this new look at an extraordinary man will be indispensable. - Antony Kamm read Classics and English at Oxford University. He was lecturer in publishing studies at the University of Stirling 1988-95. His publications include Collins Biographical Dictionary of English Literature (1993), The Romans: an introduction (Routledge, 2005), The Israelites: an introduction (Routledge, 1999), Julius Caesar: a beginner's guide (2002), The Last Frontier: the Roman invasions of Scotland (2004), and for children, Scotland in Roman Tinies (1998).
