Author: Stephen Dando-CollinsTitle: Caesar Versus PompeyBinding: PaperbackNumber Of Pages: 320Release Date: 0000-00-00Details: Who was Rome's greatest general, statesman, and natio n-builder: Caesar or Pompey?Few people have had as many words written about them down through the centuries as Julius Caesar-the brilliant general who made Queen Cleopatra of Egypt his mistress. He has captured the imagination of playwrights, historians, soldiers, and emperors.Little has been written about his ally, son-in-law, and eventual enemy Pompey the Great, who crashed onto the Roman scene as a victorious twenty-three-year-old general and who, at the height of his career, was arguably more famous, more popular, and more successful than Caesar.Caesar Versus Pompey tells the parallel life stories of Julius Caesar and Pompey the Great, as their lives and loves became intertwined and interdependent, as they grew from rivals to partners, then from joint rulers to warring foes. One strove to preserve the Roman Republic, the other destroyed it.EAN: 9781684428953Package Dimensions: Height: 9 inches, Length: 6 inches, Weight: 0.85 Pounds, Width: 1 inches Show more
