Suetonius: Life of Julius Caesar

Suetonius: Life of Julius Caesar

D. Wardle

Suetonius' Life of Julius Caesar (Vita Divi Iuli in the original Latin) deals with one of the best known of all Romans. His highly colourful account of Caesar's life begins a series of twelve Lives of Rome's first emperors (Caesars) and describes how Caesar was the gods' means of ending the Roman Republic and of introducing a new form of government. Suetonius presents a picture of a man who was driven in pursuit of power and honour, even initiating a bloody civil war to protect his own interests. Although Caesar was famously assassinated on the Ides of March 44 BC, his ultimate status was that of a god, Divus Iulius, as which he is celebrated by Suetonius. Wardle's volume provides a new translation of the Life with a full introduction and commentary on the events it describes. The volume discusses both the historical and the historiographical aspects of the Life, what we believe happened and what Suetonius says happened; it relates Suetonius' distinctive approach to life-writing to other examples from Greek and Roman authors and shows how the Life is a carefully constructed literary artefact rather than the styleless conglomeration of facts it has often been considered to be. Suetonius' account makes use of material written by Caesar's contemporaries as he rose to pre-eminence and reflects how subsequent generations, living and writing under the system that Suetonius for one believed he initiated, themselves imagined Caesar.

The Landmark Julius Caesar is the definitive edition of the five works that chronicle the mil-itary campaigns of Julius Caesar. Together, these five narratives present a comprehensive picture of military and political developments leading to the collapse of the Roman republic and the advent of the Roman Empire. The Gallic War is Caesar's own account of his two invasions of Britain and of conquering most of what is today France, Belgium, and Switzerland. The Civil War describes the conflict in the following year which, after the death of his chief rival, Pompey, and the defeat of Pompey's heirs and supporters, resulted in Caesar's emergence as the sole power in Rome. Accompanying Caesar's own commentaries are three short but essential additional works, known to us as the Alexandrian War, the African War, and the Spanish War. These were written by three unknown authors who were clearly eyewitnesses and probably Roman officers. Caesar's clear and direct prose provides a riveting depiction of ancient warfare and, not incidentally, a persuasive portrait for the Roman people (and for us) of Caesar himself as a brilliant, moderate, and effec-tive leader--an image that was key to his final success. Kurt A. Raaflaub's masterful translation skillfully brings out the clarity and elegance of Caesar's style, and this, together with such Landmark features as maps, detailed annotations, appendices, and illustrations, will provide every reader from lay person to scholar with a rewarding and enjoyable experience.

Born in Rome in 100 BC, he quickly climbed the ladder of Roman politics, making allies - and enemies - along the way. His victories in battle awarded him the support of the people, but flush with power, he named himself dictator for life. The good times, however, would not last much longer. On the Ides of March, Caesar was brutally assassinated by a group of senators determined to end his tyranny, bringing his reign to an end.
