About this book

Froude calls his work a sketch because the sources for Caesar's life are too few for a complete portrait. The preface lists them: Caesar's own writings, Cicero's speeches and letters, the continuations by Hirtius, and later accounts by Appian, Plutarch, Suetonius and Dion Cassius, of whom he trusts Suetonius most. The opening chapters set the scene with the Roman constitution, the Senate, the brothers Tiberius and Caius Gracchus and the story of Jugurtha, and the book includes a map of Gaul.
