Each title in this series tells the story of a man or woman whose dedication to their chosen cause led to changes that affect all our lives today. Each includes a vivid description of the world in which the famous person lived. The Roman world comes to life in this well-illustrated narrative recalling the life and times of one of the most famous characters in ancient history. The book charts Caesar's life as a soldier and conquering general - detailing how he was the first to come to Britain in 55BC - then showing how hatred and rivalry when he was a politician led to his murder. The drawings help the reader understand complicated concepts and as such will be an entertaining but valuable help to those learning about Roman times as part of their Key Stage 2 studies.
