Caesar: Life of a Colossus by Adrian Goldsworthy
4.0
Almost everything I know about Rome and Cæsar, I know from reading Asterix as a kid. Earlier this year I decided to read [b:SPQR|28789711|SPQR A History of Ancient Rome|Mary Beard|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1470421195s/28789711.jpg|44684882] to get a better understanding of Rome, and now I followed it up with this great read about an interesting man. It's not clear to me why Julius Cæsar has become the "face of Rome" in popular culture, though.
I'm going to listen to the "sequel" about the first emperor Augustus as an audiobook now, by the same author and with the same narrator, and I hope the narrator says "Transalpine Gaul" and "Cisalpine Gaul" as many times as he did in this book.
