This complete edition of Caesar’s Commentaries contains all eight of Caesar’s books on the Gallic War as well as all three of his books on the Civil War masterfully translated into English by W. A. MacDevitt. Caesar’s Commentaries are an outstanding account of extraordinary events by one of the most exceptional men in the history of the world. Julius Caesar himself was one of the most eminent writers of the age in which he lived. His commentaries on the Gallic and Civil Wars are written with a purity, precision, and perspicuity, which command approbation. They are elegant without affectation, and beautiful without ornament. Of the two books which he composed on Analogy, and those under the title of Anti-Cato, scarcely any fragment is preserved; but we may be assured of the justness of the observations on language, which were made by an author so much distinguished by the excellence of his own compositions. His poem entitled The Journey, which was probably an entertaining narrative, is likewise totally lost. All of Caesar’s works that remain intact are contained in this edition of his commentaries.
It is to the honor of Caesar, that when he had obtained the supreme power, he exercised it with a degree of moderation beyond what was generally expected by those who had fought on the side of the Republic. His time was almost entirely occupied with public affairs, in the management of which, though he employed many agents, he appears to have had none in the character of actual minister.
Caesar deprecated a lingering death, and wished that his own might be sudden and speedy. And the day before he died, the conversation at supper, in the house of Marcus Lepidus, turning upon what was the most eligible way of dying, he gave his opinion in favor of a death that is sudden and unexpected. He died in the fifty-sixth year of his age, and was ranked amongst the Gods.

what i learned from Caesar.
- kill anything that isn’t Roman.
- kill your enemies before they kill you.
- kill your friends before they kill you.

Not so, i.
Rather than killing “anything that isn’t Roman” - Caesar was regarded as a particularly benevolent victor, granting Roman citizenship to people from conquered territories. He extended citizenship to Spaniards and Gauls. He granted these full rights to ethnically Celtic Cisalpine Gaul, and filled the roll of the Roman senate with controversial appointments that included Cisalpine & several Narbonese Gauls.
Following Caesar’s Civil War victory at the Battle of Pharsalus in 48, Brutus surrendered & was granted amnesty by Caesar. This amnesty was widely extended to the vanquished.
So, he didn’t kill his enemies before they could kill him, because he pardoned them, and they, uh, killed him.

The Phallic War commentaries, Caesar963’s losing battle against appearing a pretentious prick.
The only caesarian thing about him is his artificial delivery.
June 18th, 2021
Wasn’t ur delivery a little forced & contrived there, Arthur? Didn’t u steal the phrase from the more intelligent illodiini?
Why so little self-awareness, & so mucho bitter?
Try to be happy instead.
