Descrizione

SUMMARY: Similarities in the structure of the commentarii written by Sulla and by Caesar provide a starting-point to investigate how Caesar has been portrayed in Roman literature. Five stages took place: 1) epic-historical poetry celebrating Caesar’s res gestae; 2) the commentarii written by Caesar himself; 3) other commentarii, added to create a full corpus of Caesar’s military deeds; 4) historical works composed by Sallust and Pollio, who think over and discuss Caesar’s role in the crisis of the Roman republic; 5) the biography of Caesar written by Oppius, who deals with the human aspects and personal matter of the dictator.
