About this book
A Friend of Cæsar is by William Stearns Davis, with the subtitle A Tale of the Fall of the Roman Republic, Time 50-47 B.C. The preface says if the book serves to show that Classical Life presented many phases akin to our own, it will not have been written in vain. A character named Pratinas says six years ago to-day he came to Rome, with barely an obol of ready money, to make his fortune by his wits.
Cornelia is shown flying, sword in hand, toward a knot of writhing men, while Drusus stands under the Athena with the keen steel in his hand. Cornelia cowered in the chariot and saw nothing and heard everything, and Drusus is the one whose powerful form towered above her.
