Notes about the Gallic War

Guy Julius Caesar (100-44 BC), with the rule of which the recent years of the Roman Republic are associated not only as a brilliant politician and a decisive commander, capable of crossing any Rubicon. His name, which served as the new Julian calendar, was turned into the title of Roman emperors, later Russian words "king", "Kesar" and German Kaiser came from him. Caesar went down in history as the largest Roman writer. The creative heritage of this great ruler is an extraordinary achievement of Latin prose. His notes on the Gallic War, successfully influencing the formation of public opinion, are of great historical value. No wonder another famous Roman - the great speaker of Cicero - gave such an assessment to Caesar"s notes: "They are naked, straight and beautiful, all sorts of speech jewelry, like clothes ... There is nothing more pleasant for history, as a pure and pleasant brevity."
