Description for CLSICS597:
In Julius Caesar were combined many remarkable men: Rome’s greatest general, he reformed the calendar which we still use today. His political and legal initiatives transformed Roman government, and his building projects changed the city of Rome and its empire. His Commentaries on the Gallic and Civil Wars were models of the "clean" or "Attic" style of writing which offer both lively narrative and ethnographic description. Readings (all in English) will include selections from the works of Caesar and his contemporaries, modern scholarship and biography, and discussion of his coins, portrait statues, and building projects.
