History of Julius Cæsar, Vol. 1 of 2
Napoleon III, emperor of the French, published his History of Julius Caesar in 1865, and this authorized English translation appeared the same year. The emperor set out to show that providence raises up great men such as Caesar to accomplish what their age requires, an argument his readers easily applied to the Bonapartes. This first volume opens with a survey of Roman history before Caesar, from the kings and the consular republic through the conquest of Italy, the Punic wars and the struggles of the Gracchi, Marius and Sulla, then follows Caesar's own career up to his consulship with Bibulus. Supported by scholars and maps, the work is solid history colored by imperial self-justification. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
