Caesar by Christian Meier

Caesar by Christian Meier

'Meier's is a compulsively readable, scholarly, imaginative, and almost poetic account' Sunday Telegraph

'A subtle and complex inquiry into the nature of politics and power in the late Republic... Meier builds up a convincing portrait of a man with a restless need for achievement but no master plan... His Caesar goes well beyond the confines of biography to present a radical analysis of a political system in decline, and the opportunities it afforded one of the most brilliant and unscrupulous individuals of all time.' Independent on Sunday

'A book of great historical importance and literary glory.' Rhein-Neckar-Zeitung

Christian Meier is Professor of Ancient History at the University of Munich. He is one of Europe’s leading authorities on the late Roman Republic and is the author of ‘The Greek Discovery of Politics’, ‘The Political Art of Greek Tragedy’ and ‘Caesar’.
