A Companion to Julius Caesar cover

A Companion to Julius Caesar comprises 30 essays from leading scholars examining the life and after life of this great polarizing figure.

  • Explores Caesar from a variety of perspectives: military genius, ruthless tyrant, brilliant politician, first class orator, sophisticated man of letters, and more
  • Utilizes Caesar’s own extant writings
  • Examines the viewpoints of Caesar’s contemporaries and explores Caesar’s portrayals by artists and writers through the ages

“Those seeking answers to [Caesar’s] place in the world as hero or villain will not find the answer in these pages. Instead, they will find this book adds illumination toward that decision, which must be made by the reader, not the writers. It is precisely this rational impartiality that makes A Companion to Julius Caesar an aid to study, and a good one at that … Enlightening.”  UNRV History (1 September 2015)
