“Stunning. . . . Mr. Raaflaub has surpassed even the previous high
standards of the Landmark series by supplying full, expert and
wide-ranging notes, almost all containing his own elucidations
rather than showy scholarly references. This achievement is
amplified by more than 40 appendix essays, all commissioned by Mr.
Raaflaub and several written by him, addressing all sorts of
literary, military and biographical questions. . . . History buffs,
classicists, fans of television’s Rome: Do not pass up this gift.
Whether you revere Caesar as a military genius or despise him as a
butcher and a tyrant, The Landmark Julius Caesar is an
indispensable way to read his writings and understand his rise to
power.”
—James Romm, The Wall Street Journal
“Splendid. . . . A boon for every student. . . . A distinguished
historian and classicist, Raaflaub offers an excellent
translation.”
—The New Criterion
“Glorious. . . . The Landmark Julius Caesar is a superb
addition to a superb series.”
—The National
