　　A military leader of legendary genius, Caesar was also a great

writer, recording the events of his life with incomparable

immediacy and power. "The Civil War" is a tense and gripping

depiction of his struggle with Pompey over the leadership of

Republican Rome - a conflict that spanned the entire Roman world,

from Gaul and Spain to Asia and Africa. Where Caesar's own account

leaves off in 48 BC, his lieutenants take up the history,

describing the vital battles of Munda, Spain and Thapsus, and the

installation of Cleopatra, later Caesar's mistress, as Queen of

Egypt. Together these narratives paint a full picture of the events

that brought Caesar supreme power - and paved the way for his

assassination only months later.

　　Gaius Julius Caesar was born in 100BC into an ancient

patrician family. He was imprisoned for a time with his familly,

for protesting against the then leadership of Sulla, but advanced

slowly through the sixties rising to the rank of praetor and

forming the 'first triumvirate' with Pompey and Crassus. Elected

consul in 59BC, he then became Governor for Transalpine Gaul. After

the death of Crassus and the defeat of Pompey in 45BC, Caesar

returned to Rome as dictator. He was assassinated in March 44BC.
