De Bello Gallico Libri Septem

De Bello Gallico Libri Septem

by Gaius Julius Caesar

De Bello Gallico, or 'The Gallic War', is a firsthand account by Julius Caesar of his military campaigns in Gaul from 58 to 50 BCE. Written in Latin, it offers a detailed and often self-serving narrative of Caesar's strategic brilliance, his battles against various Gallic tribes, and the gradual subjugation of the region under Roman control. Caesar's work provides valuable insight into the political, social, and military landscape of the late Roman Republic, showcasing both the complexities of Roman warfare and the ambition of a rising political figure. While the book is presented as a historical record, it also serves as a testament to Caesar's literary skills and his understanding of effective propaganda.
