Description
Book V of De Bello Gallico, Julius Caesar's memoirs of the Gallic War, deals the preparations for and execution of his second assault on Britain in 54 BC, and the revolt which broke out amongst the tribes of ancient Gaul, in which Quintus Cicero (younger brother of the orator) was involved. It also covers and defeat of the British commander Cassivellaunus, his return to Gaul and his campaigns against the Belgae. The content therefore makes this an ideal book for students to tackle as they make their first approach to Caesar's prose.
This school edition still provides a very reliable, serviceable introduction, clearly presented notes, index of proper names and a full vocabulary.
