Handsomely bound turn-of-the-century American edition of the Greco-Roman classic one of our main sources for the lives of Julius Caesar and Alexander the Great.

His accounts of Roman leaders focuses heavily on the late Republic with biographies of the Gracchi Cato the Younger Pompey Brutus Mark Antony and Caesar - alongside Suetonius and Caesar himself he is the most important surviving source on Julius Caesar.
