Description
Caesar's Civil War is an unfinished masterpiece that explores the general's contest with the Pompeian party over nineteen months. The narrative ends after Pompey's death, amidst the preliminaries to the Alexandrian war.
This introductory book examines the background of Caesar's commentarii, his selection of material, and the contemporary context of the civil war. It also delves into the literary techniques that carry the story and provides characterization and structure analysis.
For readers interested in Roman history, this book offers general aids such as maps, a timeline of Caesar's life and the civil war, explanations of technical terms, and a section on Roman names and prominent persons of Caesar's time.
