Empires & historical states

Paperback. Julius Caesar was the most famous Roman who ever lived. His influence endures to the present day: in our 'Julian' calendar of 365.25 days, which he introduced; in the geographical entity we call France, whose boundaries he established; and, thanks to his 'invasion' of 55 BCE. This book seeks to explore the many facets of his complex character. Series: Bristol Phoenix Press Greece and Rome Live. Num Pages: 140 pages, 1 frontispiece, 8 figures, 12 black & white illustrations. BIC Classification: 1QDAR; BGH; HBJD; HBLA. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 214 x 140 x 12.
