About
Few historical figures, in both the ancient and the modern world, are more recognizable - or more controversial - than Julius Caesar. After ancient Rome was plunged into civil war, Caesar emerged to become the undisputed master of the Roman world. Indeed, his subsequent assassination in 44 BC marked one of the great turning points in world history as Rome made its epoch-making transition from republic to empire. A Companion to Julius Caesar examines the great man and his image from a variety of perspectives: military genius, brilliant politician, first class orator, sophisticated man of letters, relentless careerist, ruthless conqueror, tactless autocrat. Essays by leading scholars in classics, ancient history and art, modern history, and European literature explore the reputation of Caesar starting with his contemporaries, and show how artists, writers, and poets from antiquity to the present day have depicted Caesar. Lively, engaging, and comprehensive in scope, this Companion is one of the richest and most vivid portraits of Julius Caesar available today - a triumphant addition to literary and historical scholarship. --Book Jacket.
