What makes this different

A few things, taken together, set this edition apart. Click any to expand.

Both commentaries in one voice.

The Gallic War and the Civil War newly translated by one hand, where most complete Caesars splice older versions together — so the deliberate, self-justifying plainness reads as one design.

Read in order, the march on Rome builds.

Arranged as Caesar wrote them, the campaigns in Gaul shade into the civil war and the seizure of Rome, the self-exculpation accumulating in real time.

A scholarly apparatus alongside.

A glossary of every person and place, the Latin facing the text, and cross-references — none of which plain digital editions carry.

From the Latin.

Read from Caesar's Latin directly, not adapted from an earlier English version. The text comes from open scholarly sources.
