Named 2006 Best Book of the Year by Amazon.com

"An authoritative and exciting portrait not only of Caesar but of the complex society in which he lived."--Steven Coates, New York Times Book Review

"The best introduction to Caesar and his world that is currently available."--Karl Galinsky, Bookforum

Tracing the extraordinary trajectory of the great Roman emperor's life, Goldsworthy covers not only the great Roman emperor's accomplishments as charismatic orator, conquering general, and powerful dictator but also lesser-known chapters during which he was high priest of an exotic cult, captive of pirates, seducer not only of Cleopatra but also of the wives of his two main political rivals, and rebel condemned by his own country. Ultimately, Goldsworthy realizes the full complexity of Caesar's character and shows why his political and military leadership continues to resonate some two thousand years later. In the introduction to his biography of the great Roman emperor, Adrian Goldsworthy writes, "Caesar was at times many things, including a fugitive, prisoner, rising politician, army leader, legal advocate, rebel, dictator . . . as well as husband, father, lover and adulterer." In this landmark biography, Goldsworthy examines Caesar as military leader, all of these roles and places his subject firmly within the context of Roman society in the first century B.C.

Looks good but squeaks
I love these shoes they fit well and are comfortable, however I find myself not reaching for them since they squeak so loudly! I don’t know if they got wet or what but it’s annoying

Beautiful shoe
Size: 7, Color: Greentini Sequin, Size: 7, Color: Greentini Sequin
I ordered size 7. I am 6.5-7 and these were barely long enough. Width was perfect and I would say I have wide “duck” feet.haha. Color is absolutely beautiful. No slip strip is a PLUS. They are very comfortable with all the padding. Sequins seems to be pretty good. I got these at a great price so, I would say great buy for the money.

Not my style
Size: 27, Color: Snake Combo
Okay okay— so the fit good. I don’t like the buttons up the front instead of a zipper. The barrel is VERY barrel— I felt like an old timey cowboy about to get into a duel. Immediately returned for me. But the fabric and pattern were 10/10.
