Conqueror of Gaul, textbook author, demagogue, gravedigger of the Republic, first emperor: Caesar, and in particular the Caesar of the 40s BC, is equally Roman superstar and notorious dictator, and certainly one of the most controversial figures of Roman history. Bringing together specialists of various disciplines and representatives of different schools of thought, this volume offers a fresh appreciation of both Caesar as an historical character and of a period that irrevocably turned Rome into a military, political, and cultural centre and a point of reference for the ancient Mediterranean world.
