One of the greatest military and political geniuses in western history, Julius Caesar stirs almost as much controversy today as he did in his own time. Neutrality toward Caesar may well be impossible-and according to James Reubel, it is undesirable. Reubel introduces students of Latin to Caesar and the civil war that Pompey led against him from 49 to 48 B.C. By presenting the Roman leader in his own words and those of his contemporaries, the book forces readers to confront the same choices that Cicero and others faced in this tumultous period. Ruebel places the readings in historical context in his introduction and provide extracts from the writings of Caesar's contemporaries (most in English translation), along with Ruebel's commentary and notes.
