The Gallic War by Julius Caesar is one of the most famous works of classical literature, providing a first-hand account of the Roman campaigns in Gaul between 58 and 50 BC. Written by Caesar himself, the text offers detailed descriptions of military operations, strategy and the peoples encountered during the conquest.
This Oxford World’s Classics edition presents a modern English translation by Carolyn Hammond, accompanied by an introduction and explanatory notes that place the work within its historical context. The narrative not only records the expansion of Roman power into Gaul but also serves as a key document in understanding Caesar’s political ambitions and self-presentation.
A foundational text for the study of Roman history and warfare, The Gallic War remains essential reading for anyone interested in the rise of Rome and the career of Julius Caesar.
