Project Gutenberg 2004-03-01 Public domain in the USA. 281 Abbott, Jacob 1803 1879 Marianne Erodore History of Julius Caesar E-text prepared by Juliet Sutherland, Charlie Kirschner, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "History of Julius Caesar" by Jacob Abbott is a historical account written in the early 20th century that explores the life and times of one of antiquity's most famous figures. The narrative centers on Julius Caesar, detailing his rise to power amidst the politically tumultuous environment of late Republican Rome, with insights into his relationships with key rivals and allies, including Marius, Sylla, and Pompey. At the start of the text, the foundation of the political conflict between Marius and Sylla is established, setting the stage for Caesar's eventual emergence. It outlines the societal divisions in Rome, the violent power struggles of the era, and Caesar's connections to these rival factions through family ties and personal choices. Abbott describes the early life of Caesar, his ambitions, and his moral determinations that make him a fugitive after refusing to renounce his wife. The opening chapters provide a gripping portrayal of political rivalry, the social climate of Roman life, and the formative experiences that would shape Caesar into a legendary military commander and statesman, preparing readers for the events of his later conquests in Gaul.
