But what did Caesar intend to accomplish by writing and publishing his commentaries, how did he go about it, and what potentially unforeseen consequences did his writing have? These are the questions that Andrew Riggsby pursues in this fresh interpretation of one of the masterworks of Latin prose. Riggsby uses contemporary literary methods to examine the historical impact that the commentaries had on the Roman reading public. 607 $aGaul$xHistory$yGallic Wars, 58-51 B.C$xPolitical aspects 607 $aRome$xHistory, Military$y265-30 B.C 676 $a936.4/02 700 $aRiggsby$b Andrew M$0474978 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777509103321 996 $aCaesar in Gaul and Rome$91095024 997 $aUNINA
