The Gallic War, published on the eve of the civil war which led to the end of the Roman Republic, is an autobiographical account written by one of the most famous figures of European history. On one level a straightforward narrative of the campaigns Caesar fought against the Gauls, Germans and Britons, it also serves a deeper political purpose, revealing him as a commander of breathtaking flair, courage and persistence - a man of the people, a man without rival. This new translation reflects the purity of Caesar's Latin while preserving the pace and flow of his momentous narrative of the conquest of Gaul and the first Roman invasions of Britain and Germany. The introduction includes a survey of Caesar's role and reputation in later thought, while detailed notes, maps, a table of dates, and glossary make this the most useful edition available. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

評分羅馬共和國末期到帝國建立時期的曆史,兩韆年來一直為人們所津津樂道。前段時間,美國有綫電視颱HBO一部美劇《羅馬》,又掀起一陣“羅馬熱”。蘇拉、龐貝、愷撒、安東尼、屋大維等等這些人物之間的縱橫捭闔,總能引起人們極大的熱情。其中,愷撒最為引人注目,可謂無人不知...
評分以前覺得這本書難以消化,現在多少能理解一些瞭。開篇之處,“厄爾維幾人”正打算舉族遷徙(去進攻彆人),為此而廣泛種植,大買牲口。這說明這個部族正處於從遊牧嚮農耕的過渡階段。農耕技術的擴散帶來人口增長,人口增長導緻各部族之間的摩擦和戰爭增多。高盧戰記這個名字也...
