Caesar's Calendar by Denis Feeney
Investigates time and its contours as described by the ancient Romans, first as Rome positioned itself in relation to Greece and then as it exerted its influence as a major world power. This book examines the most important of the ancient world's time divisions, that between myth and history.
"As [Feeney's] excellent book [underlines], the most lasting achievement of Caesar was.. the calendar that is still used, throughout the west."--New York Review of Books
