Caius Julius Caesar - C. Ivlii Caesaris rervm ab se gestarvm commentarii - 1590

Very rare early edition of the autobiographical accounts in which the author clearly and methodically lays out his military campaigns and his political actions -

A sober and precise narration characterizes the whole, where events are presented with an apparent concern for objectivity while serving a strategy of personal justification. The campaigns of the Gallic War are described in detail, notably the clashes with the Gaulish peoples, the military strategies employed and the organization of the Roman legions -

Particular attention is given to the description of the territories, the peoples and the customs encountered, offering a valuable historical and ethnographic testimony. The narrative highlights Caesar's leadership qualities such as prudence, rapidity of decision and tactical mastery -

A political dimension emerges through the aim of legitimizing his actions before the Senate and the Roman people. The style is characterized by its simplicity, clarity and effectiveness which contributed to making the work a model of Latin prose -
