Description

Who was Rome’s greatest general, statesman, and nation-builder:Caesar or Pompey?Few people have had as many words written about them down throughthe centuries as Julius Caesar—the brilliant general who made Queen Cleopatraof Egypt his mistress.

Caesar Versus Pompey tells the parallel life stories ofJulius Caesar and Pompey the Great, as their lives and loves became intertwined andinterdependent, as they grew from rivals to partners, then from joint rulers towarring foes.

One strove to preserve the Roman Republic, the other destroyedit.
