Bibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph0-300-12048-6 Includes bibliographical references (p. 529-533) and index.As Adrian Goldsworthy writes in the introduction to this book, in his fifty-six years, Caesar was at times many things, including a fugitive, prisoner, rising politician, army leader, legal advocate, rebel, dictator . . . as well as husband, father, lover and adulterer. In this landmark biography, Goldsworthy examines all of these roles and places his subject firmly within the context of Roman society in the first century B.C.Tracing the extraordinary trajectory of Caesars life from birth through assassination, Goldsworthy covers not only Caesars accomplishments as charismatic orator, conquering general, and powerful dictator but also lesser-known chapters during which he was high priest of an exotic cult, captive of pirates, seducer not only of Cleopatra but also of the wives of his two main political rivals, and rebel condemned by his own country. Ultimately, Goldsworthy realizes the full complexity of Caesars character and shows why his political and military leadership continues to resonate some two thousand years later.GeneralsRomeBiographyHeads of stateRomeBiographyRomeHistoryRepublic, 265-30 B.CElectronic books.GeneralsHeads of state937/.05092BGoldsworthy Adrian Keith256325MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910451721803321Caesar2205272UNINA
