Description: The Age of Caesar by Plutarch, James Romm, Pamela Mensch, Mary Beard Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description An outstanding new edition of Plutarch, the inventor of biography, focused on five lives that remade the Roman world. Publisher Description Major figures in the civil wars that ended the Roman Republic, the names Pompey, Caesar, Cicero, Brutus and Antony haunt us with questions of character and authority. Plutarchs rich, vivid profiles show character-shaping history through grand scale events and intimate details. The creator and master of the biographical form, Plutarch locates character in small gestures such as Brutuss punctilious use of money or Caesars plainspoken discourse. In this readers edition, the translation lends a straightforward clarity to the prose and the notes identify people, places and events in the text. The substantial introduction and foreword explore Plutarch as an historical figure and the history of the Republics fall.
