\u201cAn authoritative and exciting portrait not only of Caesar but of the complex society in which he lived.\u201d\u2014Steven Coates, New York Times Book Review
\u00a0
\u201cThe best introduction to Caesar and his world that is currently available.\u201d\u2014Karl Galinsky, Bookforum
\u00a0
Tracing the extraordinary trajectory of the great Roman emperor\u2019s life, Goldsworthy covers not only the great Roman emperor\u2019s 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 Caesar\u2019s character and shows why his political and military leadership continues to resonate some two thousand years later. In the introduction to his biography of the great Roman emperor, Adrian Goldsworthy writes, \u201cCaesar 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.\u201d In this landmark biography, Goldsworthy examines Caesar as military leader, all of these roles and places his subject firmly within the context of Roman society in the first century B.C. <\/p>\n
