Summary:

"A fluid, distinctive, and highly intelligent portrait of Caesar in his times."--Clifford Ando, author of "Imperial Ideology and Provincial Loyalty in the Roman Empire " "Master of the complex source material and at home in the vast secondary literature, Canfora has used his experience with communism to construct a subtle, original quest for 'the real Caesar, ' the proletarian dictator. The book can only enrich research and teaching."--William M. Calder III, William Abbott Oldfather Professor of the Classics and Professor of Comparative Literature, University of Illinois, Urbana/Champaign
