About this listen

Contained here is Julius Caesar's own account of his military adventures in Gaul at the head of the Roman army, uniquely presented in Caesar's first-person perspective (rather than as a third-person narrative as in the original Latin). Included are seven sections ("books") of the Gallic War, each encompassing one year of Caesar's battles and intrigues; though there is an eighth book, it is generally accepted to have been written by another general, shortly after Caesar's death in 44 BCE.

This production is based on a translation of the work by W.A. McDevitte and W.S. Bohn published in New York in 1869.

excellent

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Very dull, narrator drones on and on in a monotone which isn't helped by an 1800's translation of a very focussed and specific text.
