His campaigns changed the world, his dictatorship ended the Roman Republic, and his assassination remains an unparalleled political thriller to this day: Gaius Julius Caesar, for many the most famous Roman of all time. The spectacular events of the famous Ides of March 44 are recounted here by a clever, critical, and witty eyewitness: 30 years later, the Greek Eusebios Gibber, now a teacher in the province, recalls his memories for his students. What he experienced as a slave of a government official in Rome captivates his listeners in antiquity just as much as it does today’s readers! A fact-rich section at the end of each chapter, numerous illustrations, and a detailed glossary complete this multifaceted presentation.
