About This Item
1716 Julius Caesar WAR Commentary Military MAPS Tactics Bellum Africum Hirtius
"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 first-hand account of Julius Caesar in the Callic wars, but it was written as though from a third-person view.
This 1716 edition was collected and edited by Michael Maittaire and published in London. It should be noted that included in this edition is Aulus Hirtius' Bellum Alexandrinum and his continuation of Caesar's De bello Gallico.
