This a parallel presentation of the works of Julius Caesar in Latin and
English translation.
This includes his Gallic Wars
and Civil Wars, plus three shorter works which
may have been written by Aulus Hirtius (who is also credited with the 8th
book of the Gallic Wars).
Beyond its importance as a source document for military and Roman history,
Caesar's clean prose style has long made his Gallic Wars the
text of choice for second-year Latin.
It is also of interest because of his first-hand observations of the
Celtic tribes that he was waging war on.
For instance, refer to Book 6, which contains
a long passage about Gaulish society,
the Druids,
and his famous description
of the original burning man ritual.
