The Landmark Julius Caesar

“Stunning. . . . Mr. Raaflaub has surpassed even the previous high standards of the Landmark series by supplying full, expert and wide-ranging notes, almost all containing his own elucidations rather than showy scholarly references. This achievement is amplified by more than 40 appendix essays, all commissioned by Mr. Raaflaub and several written by him, addressing all sorts of literary, military and biographical questions. . . . History buffs, classicists, fans of television’s Rome: Do not pass up this gift. Whether you revere Caesar as a military genius or despise him as a butcher and a tyrant, The Landmark Julius Caesar is an indispensable way to read his writings and understand his rise to power.” —James Romm, The Wall Street Journal “Splendid. . . . A boon for every student. . . . A distinguished historian and classicist, Raaflaub offers an excellent translation.” —The New Criterion “Glorious. . . . The Landmark Julius Caesar is a superb addition to a superb series.” —The National
