Goldsworthy Adrian. Caesar: Life of a Colossus
Yale University Press, 2006 - 608 p. ISBN: 0300120486
As Adrian Goldsworthy writes in the introduction to this ebook, in his fifty-6 a long time, Caesar was at situations numerous points, which includes a fuyarde, prisoner, soaring politician, army leader, legal advocate, rebel, dictator . . . as properly as husband, father, lover and adulterer. In this landmark biography, Goldsworthy examines all of these roles and areas his topic firmly inside the context of Roman culture in the initial century B.C.
Tracing the extraordinary trajectory of Caesar’s life from birth by means of assassination, Goldsworthy handles not only Caesar’s accomplishments as charismatic orator, conquering general, and strong dictator but also lesser-known chapters throughout which he was higher priest of an exotic cult, captive of pirates, seducer not only of Cleopatra but also of the wives of his two primary political rivals, and rebel condemned by his individual nation. Finally, Goldsworthy realizes the full complexity of Caesar’s character and displays why his political and military leadership continues to resonate some two thousand a long time afterwards.
