Julius Caesar

London, England: Chancellor Press, 1969. Hardback. Sunned spine to D/J. The author's biography of Julius Caesar sets the man in his period. It covers his life from the early days in Rome, dominated by Sulla, Pompey and Crassus, through his campaigns in Europe, Asia and Africa, to his final years as a dictator. It is not, however, just a narrative of events. Bearing in mind recent research and new evaluations, the author throws light on Caesar's apparently conflicting charateristics. The numerous black and white illustrations, ranging from buildings, civic and domestic, and portraits (including many of Caesar's contemporaries) to articles of everyday use preserved over the centuries or revealed by excavation, complement the text. In addition, the colour plates recapture something of the splendour and significance of the man and his age and his influence in later times. 16 colour plates. 150 illustration in black-and-white. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.) . 1st Chancellor Press Edition. Decorative Cloth. Very Good/Good. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Hardback.
