Autorenporträt
Gaius Julius Caesar (100–44 BCE), renowned for his military genius and political acumen, was a figure of monumental influence in Roman history. Born to a patrician family, Caesar's rise to power was marked by his military campaigns, most famous of which were chronicled in his own writings. 'The Civil War,' written in Latin and commonly referred to as 'Commentarii de Bello Civili,' offers an account of the intense and complex conflicts between Caesar and his political rivals, primarily Pompey the Great, that culminated in his ascent to dictatorial power. Caesar's lucid and compelling prose makes the work not only an invaluable historical document but also a masterpiece of classical literature. His narrative style — succinct, precise, and somewhat objective — revolutionized the nature of military commentary and political discourse. It is through these writings that much of what we understand about the late Roman Republic comes alive, albeit through the lens of his own political and military agenda. Despite being a narrative of his own achievements, Caesar's work serves both as a profound primary source for the period and as a benchmark of classical Latin at its finest. Over the centuries, 'The Civil War' and other works by Caesar have significantly impacted the study of Roman history and the development of historiographical traditions.
