"Can Alexander Hamilton possibly have been right that Julius Caesar was 'the greatest man who ever lived'? Reading Philip Freeman's pacy and panoptic narrative of Caesar's life from unpromising early beginnings to the fateful Ides is one very rewarding approach to answering that perennially fascinating question." - Paul Cartledge, Professor of Greek History, University of Cambridge This book will captivate readers discovering Caesar and ancient Rome for the first time as well as those who have a deep interest in the classical world. With remarkable clarity and brevity, Freeman shows how Caesar dominated a newly mighty Rome and shaped its destiny. In this splendid biography, Freeman presents Caesar in all his dimensions and contradictions. "Adrian Goldsworthy is one of our most promising young military historians today."-Sir John Keegan, author of The Iraq Warįreeman, Philip.
