El imperio romano duró diez siglos, un fenómeno excepcional en la historia de la humanidad. Y excepcional fue también su capital, Roma, una pequeña ciudad que, tras desaparecer casi cien veces en ese período, logró derrotar a sus vecinos en el Lazio y se adueñó del todo el mundo conocido, limitado entonces al Mar Mediterráneo. Sin embargo, los romanos rechazaban la guerra y amaban la paz. Desarrollaron un orden político y económico sin precedentes, y su cultura se extendió por todo el orbe, hasta la caída del Imperio en el siglo V d. C. Este libro ofrece una visión general de su historia, que ayuda a entender las raíces de nuestra civilización.

Den legendariske Gajus Julius Caesar är en av de män som haft störst inflytande på historien, från kultur och språk till styrelseskick och krigföring. Myten om patriciern som lyckades skaffa sig nästan oinskränkt makt över enorma landområden har fängslat författare, politiker och historiker i snart två tusen år. Caesar berättar historien om den store härföraren, statsmannen och författaren. Läsaren får följa hans uppväxtår i Rom, inträdandet i politiken, de otaliga allianserna och intrigerna, erövringstågen, inbördeskriget och det växande motståndet mot hans maktfullkomlighet, vilket utmynnar i mordet på honom den 15:e mars år 44 f.Kr. Boken är på samma gång ett porträtt av den berömde mannen och en guide till en viktig period i vår historia.
