Julius Caesar: The Life and Times of the People's Dictator Hardcover - 2007
by Luciano Canfora; Marian Hill (Translator); Kevin Windle (Translator)
In this splendid profile, Canfora offers a radically new interpretation of one of the most controversial figures in history. The result of a comprehensive study of the ancient sources, "Julius Caesar" paints an astonishingly detailed portrait of this complex man and the times in which he lived.
From the rear cover
"A fluid, distinctive, and highly intelligent portrait of Caesar in his times."--Clifford Ando, author of Imperial Ideology and Provincial Loyalty in the Roman Empire "Master of the complex source material and at home in the vast secondary literature, Canfora has used his experience with communism to construct a subtle, original quest for 'the real Caesar, ' the proletarian dictator. The book can only enrich research and teaching."--William M. Calder III, William Abbott Oldfather Professor of the Classics and Professor of Comparative Literature, University of Illinois, Urbana/Champaign
