"If you must break the law, do it to seize power: in all other cases observe it!"

– Julius Caesar

A rare collection of civil war histories and Julius Caesar war commentaries!

Julius Caesar's war commentaries are some of the most prolific military writings! While not specifically known for his writing, Julius Caesar wrote this book which would become a mainstay in the Latin literature canon. It focuses on the first-hand account of Julius Caesar in the Gallic wars, but it was written as though from a third-person view.

This rare 1689 edition includes both French and Latin translation, collected and edited by Nicolas Perrot d'Ablancourt, printed in two volumes.
