A monumental new life of Ancient Rome's most illustrious complex and legendary leader - Julius Caesar.
The author of the highly-praised "The Roman Army" turns her focus to one of the ancient world's most legendary and complex figures, in this deeply-researched narrative of the life of Julius Caesar. Southern paints a picture of an initially misunderstood, foppish youth ascending to military and political excellence and eventually becoming the subject of public resentment due to his dictatorial methods.
