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. 606 $aGenerals$zRome$vBiography 606 $aHeads of state$zRome$vBiography 607 $aRome$xHistory$yRepublic, 265-30 B.C 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aGenerals 615 0$aHeads of state 676 $a937/.05092 676 $aB 700 $aGoldsworthy$b Adrian Keith$0256325 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451721803321 996 $aCaesar$92205272 997 $aUNINA
