The Gallic War

Details: cm.14x21, pp.260, brossura con copertina figurata a colori. Collana Oxford Wold's Classics.

Abstract: 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.

Texte établi et traduzione par Pierre Dufraigne. Edizione con testo a fronte. Paris, Les Belles Lettres 1975, cm.13x20, pp.LXIII,280, brossura. Collana des Univ.de France. Intonso. Les Caesares, appelés encore Liber de Caesaribus, nous sont parvenus comme la troisième et dernière partie d'une histoire romaine allant des origines mythiques jusqu’au IVème siècle après J.-C. Le Livre des Césars retrace l’histoire de l’empire depuis Auguste jusqu’à la date même de composition du livre sous Constance II en 360. L’auteur, Aurelius Victor, d’origine modeste et provinciale, fit une carrière administrative et devint gouverneur de Pannonie. Proche de l’empereur Julien, il composa, avant de devenir gouverneur, les Caesares, bréviaire regroupant les biographies des empereurs. Si l’auteur se veut le successeur de Tite-Live, son livre cependant n’est pas sans évoquer Suétone, pour la forme d’abord, mais aussi pour le goût de l’anecdote et du détail piquant.
