The book presents the complete corpus of texts by Gaius Julius Caesar. The Latin term commentarii, chosen by Caesar for the title of his books, meant “notes” or “notes for memory” and in the linguistic practice of the XNUMXst century BC. e. belonged to memoirs, and not to historical literature itself. As a rule, this term denoted raw diary notes, which usually formed the basis of another, integral and processed work. Nevertheless, Caesar's Notes are subordinated to a single artistic concept and have many features that indicate their stylistic finishing. The purpose of the Notes was an attempt to prove the fair and even forced nature of the wars waged by Caesar. Caesar hoped to make his point of view more convincing thanks to extensive factual material and in the Notes he addressed not so much to his contemporaries as to his descendants.
