''A Friend of Caesar'' is a historical novel written by William Stearns Davis and published in 1913. The story is set during the turbulent times of the fall of the Roman Republic, specifically between the years 50-47 B.C. The plot revolves around the life of Gaius Julius Caesar and his friend, Marcus Tullius Cicero, who is a prominent orator and statesman of the time. The novel explores the complex political landscape of Rome during this period, including the power struggles between Caesar and Pompey, the corruption of the Senate, and the rise of populist movements. The story is told through the eyes of the protagonist, Lucius Sergius Catilina, a Roman nobleman who becomes embroiled in the political machinations of the time. As the story progresses, Catilina becomes a close friend of Caesar and is drawn into the political intrigue that ultimately leads to the fall of the Republic. The novel provides a vivid portrayal of the characters and events that shaped this critical period in Roman history, including the assassination of Caesar, the rise of Augustus, and the end of the Republic. Overall, ''A Friend of Caesar'' is a gripping historical novel that offers readers a fascinating glimpse into the world of ancient Rome during one of its most tumultuous periods. It is a must-read for anyone interested in Roman history, politics, and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
