It addresses Julius Caesar's invasion of Ancient Gaul (France) in 58 B.C. It began one of the most pivotal military campaigns in history. Caesar's victory prolonged the vast Roman civilization another 400 to 600 years. His victory brought a vast extension of Rome's enlightened influences, and ultimately enabled him to seize power in Rome. Caesar replaced the corrupt rule of Roam nobility with an effective government and prolonged the civilizing forces of the Roman Empire for nearly six centuries more. A remarkable book in full leather by Caesar himself. Note: We are a well-established, well-respected, ethical book dealer in business since 1991.
