A fascinating, comprehensive biography of the cunning Roman conqueror Julius Caesar.
More than two thousand years after his death, Julius Caesar remains one of the great figures of history. He shaped Rome for generations, and his name became a synonym for “emperor” — not only in Rome but as far away as Germany and Russia. He is best known as the general who defeated the Gauls and doubled the size of Rome’s territories. But, as Philip Freeman describes in this fascinating new biography, Caesar was also a brilliant orator, an accomplished writer, a skilled politician, and much more.

Title: Oaths, Promises, and Pledges
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 6, 2018
Review: We are Rome!
Where we are, there is Rome. We borrow our philosophy from the Greeks and get on with the business of conquering the world. For us Romans, the world is all that is the case. The importance of oaths in our Classical world cannot be overstated. Oaths underpinned the legal system in Greece and continue to do so in our sacred Rome. One of the concepts that we Romans have learned well is that of the oath. To wit, p. 159 in the text, “Caesar did not show mercy twice.” We know the quality of mercy, but we are not to be made the fool.
What is an oath to us? An oath is a conditional self-curse consisting of three components, 1) a declaration, an assertion of a truth, or promise of future performance or forbearance, e.g. “We will be your ally in the future.” 2) a superior power upon which the oath is made, usually one of our gods, e.g., “so help me…, or by Jove” 3) the nature of the curse that you are calling down upon yourself, hence the self-curse nature of an oath e.g., “…may I be struck down by the wrath of Jupiter should I violate my oath.”
For us Romans, trust is essential. Fides is a great deity of ours, the goddess of trust and good faith. She is one of our oldest and most venerated deities. To breech an oath is to offend against the divine. Even Cicero makes this much clear. Who are we Romans? We Romans are the people who keep our word and value the doing so in others. Woe be it upon those who break an oath in dealing with us.
An oath is a statement validated by superhuman power, Caesar, later the divine Julius, in this case. Phillip Freeman provides numerous examples of how Caesar, in the fashion of the Great Alexander, and as a future Napoleon would imitate in the same manner but without the same success, confirmed defeated leaders in their original positions upon condition of an oath of loyalty to Caesar and thus Rome. Violation of the oath is the greatest offense not just against Caesar and Rome but against the goddess herself requiring the swiftest and greatest retribution possible which is often death to all men the prison of slavery for all women and children, standing structures razed to the ground, assets seized as war booty and utter devastation of the land. The text makes clear that our Roman notion of the sacred oath animates so much of our combat actions and political policies. For those who violate an oath of alliance made to Caesar, it was not the gods they had to fear, it was wrath of Caesar that puts the fear of the gods into the violator. Ask the Eburones Tribe about the wages of rebellion after having earlier surrendered, that is if you can find any left to ask. Ask Ambiorix, king of the Eburones; if you can find him — let us know!
We Are Rome!
To the book in itself. This is the third book by Phillip Freeman that I have read. This one, as with the others, has a very pleasing and easy narrative style which makes the book read like a page turning novel. The book provides an enjoyable reading experience, almost a guilty pleasure, as a welcome distraction from reading German philosophers whose last names start with “H”. My only criticism is the battle descriptions with no accompanying maps.

Title: An insightful look at one of history’s great men
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 13, 2010
Review: Countless books have been written about Julius Caesar. In many of them, anecdotes and rumors have crept in and masqueraded as facts. One of the things I liked about this excellent piece is that the author takes on some of these myths and documents the truth behind them. For example, there was a famous incident when Caesar declined to rise when he was approached by a deputation of Senators, as tradition and respect required. Caesar later put it about that this was due to his illness rather than his attempt to behave like a king. Some authors have adopted Caesar’s alibi. Not so, according to Freeman, who provides sources showing that Caesar, indeed, wanted to be King of Rome in name as well as in fact.
I thought that the most insightful part of the book was the focus on Caesar’s disdain and disapproval for many of the excesses of the Roman Republic. For example, (while still a mere Senator) Caesar introduced legislation that was intended to put a stop to the hallowed custom whereby a Roman Governor would plunder the province to which he was assigned. Caesar’s law on this subject endured throughout the many centuries of the Roman Empire as a model of sound legal drafting. In point of fact, the author makes a convincing case showing that when Caesar crossed the Rubicon, surely knowing that the Republic would never be the same, he did so in the belief that the Republic had to be fundamentally restructured and modernized. Caesar rightly viewed the Roman Republic as an oligarchy designed to allow a small clique of rich Senators to maintain their dominance and plunder Rome’s neighbors. The city-state government, satisfactory for governing Rome and the nearby environs, was completely inadequate to govern Rome’s far-flung empire, or even just Italy. Caesar knew this, and for a time sought to correct these deficiencies.
Other reviewers have characterized this piece as being pro-Caesar, and this is mostly true. I will say that the fairly detailed analysis of Caesar’s conquest of Gaul left me with a strong belief that Caesar inflicted a holocaust upon the lives of millions of Gauls mainly to achieve his own personal wealth and fame. The author notes that Caesar, in common with Rome in general, did not try to justify his warring and conquest as being for the “good” of those Rome conquered. To the contrary, Caesar acknowledged that by fighting him for their independence and freedom, the Gauls did what he himself would have done in their place. This “them or us” philosophy no doubt derived from the horrendous penalties for losing a war — death to most of the males, enslavement or death to the women and children. These were the ancient rules of war to which Rome invariably adhered. Romans believed, as did Caesar, that it was better to ravage and subjugate Gaul than to allow a strong Gaul to someday menace Italy and Rome. Nowhere does the author make a case that Caesar tried to avoid warfare in Gaul by trying other means of subduing Gaul as a peaceful province under Roman control. Perhaps it was impossible. Certainly I found no evidence in this piece that Caesar made any great effort to avoid the wars there. His warring in Gaul brought Caesar fabulous wealth and established him as the First Man in Rome. Which was surely his objective all along.
This is an unusually readable piece that does a good and thorough job of acquainting the reader with Caesar. The author explains why there are gaps in our knowledge of certain parts of Caesar’s life, and when he speculates about these gaps he makes sure that the reader knows it. Overall, an excellent book. Highly recommended. RJB.
