Julius Caesar: politician and commander. Egorov A.B.

The subject of research of this book is the political biography of Guy Julia Caesar, presented against the background of the history of Rome. The role of this outstanding commander and politician in the fate of Roman civilization is really difficult to overestimate. It was with Caesar that the transition from the republic to the monarchy and from the Roman policy to the political system of the empire was associated, it is with it that the transformation of the Roman state into a giant superpower is associated with it, the possessions of which extended from Britain to Africa and the Euphrates to the coast of the Atlantic. This huge empire created that highest civilization, which, without a doubt, had a decisive influence on the subsequent history up to the relatively recent past and even modern period. Caesar’s victory was not just a change in the form of power, it was the transition of Roman civilization and culture to a new, qualitatively different level of development.
