Steve-O!!! Wow!!! Excellent program!! One of your best!! TY for disabusing me..!! I read the Penguin Gallic War; which was translated by S.A. Handford and revised by Gardner, who then went on to translate the Civil Wars!! I read the pre-revised version by Handford alone, and then the revised version.
You’ve convinced me to get the hard copy Landmark series for Herodotus andThucydides as I was going to get on kindle but after seeing the display, clearly need to get the hard copies to truly appreciate. My list just keeps increasing!!
Agree with Jack at Rambling Raconteur, having the physical volumes cannot be surpassed. You have to feel the heft and see the beauty on the printed page. Enjoy!
This feels like the appropriate time for “Render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s” with all of its irony wrapped in the barbed wire of truth. (Even if it was a retort much later). I’m also reminded of Yoda’s “Wars not make one great.” We are often the heroes of our own stories, but Julius Caesar explores the infinite limit of that concept
My entire library except for the new Crime and Punishment is on my Kindle but seeing these beautiful classics has ignited a burning desire to buy physical books. Thanks a lot, Steve. (sigh)
My Twelve Caesar's has not arrived as yet. I m very interested in this view. Plus I have one other question: after Caesar's death it seems that no one was willing to step up and write about the 'real' Caesar and what really went on? Where do I go for that, please. Lee
Steve, I’m in the middle of Andrew Roberts bio. of Napoleon. I’m sure you are aware, Napoleon’s greatest military heroes were Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar. He also admired George Washington. This video gives me a different perspective on Caesar’s battlefield abilities.
I was taught that the Gallic Wars (20 chapters of which I studied for O-level) was written as propaganda for people in Rome. The simple language was to enable the "people" - it was not clear who precisely the "people" were. to read it. That was in the middle of 1970s in Britain. Was this an advanced view for the time? Hilariously the motto of the town I lived in was: "Alea iacta est" Which Suetonius attributed to Caesar.

Oh God. I will never be able to get the image of Caesar with Trump's hairstyle from my head.
That’s what you call a “Orange Julius”
"Caesar was bald and wasn't even that hot" ok dude 😂

That was a superb waddle. The Landmark series is now added to my ever growing list. Thanks Steve.
I got the Landmark Julius Caesar for Christmas! I was so thrilled. :)

I'm reading Stacey Schiff's Cleopatra, and she seems dubious about Caesar too
