Barbou, 1766-1788. 2 v.; xxiv, 498 pp.; [4], xx, 640 pp.; 165 mm. Bilingual edition, French and Latin, of Julius Caesar's Commentarii , a work that—especially De Bello Gallico and De Bello Civili —constitutes one of the great founding texts of the Latin historiographical tradition. The text describes the conquest of Gaul and the civil conflict that led to the end of the Republic, offering valuable information on military strategy, geography, ethnography, and power mechanisms. Read since late antiquity and continuously in European school and humanist culture, they were for centuries a central text in rhetorical and historical education, remaining a reference for both the history of Rome and for reflection on leadership, propaganda, and war. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
