pickThis is an interesting narration of the life of Caesar in form of the memoirs of Decimus Brutus, one of his closests friends - and conspirator against him. Decimus describes the rise of Caesar and then the reasons why why he decides to act against him. The outside point of view is fascinating. And no, Decimus is not the „You too, child?“ Brutus, but his cousin.

The 2nd half of the book, is Caesar conquering more places in Europe and becoming the ruler of Rome. He then got stabbed by a group, like Brutus and Gaius. They got into power and made their own territories. Caesar's cousin, Octavius, who was revealed to be adopted by Caesar went to war with Brutus and Gaius and reclaimed Caesar's legacy. If you like books that are historical then this book is for you.

pickA surprisingly engaging read! A little dry for me in description of the military operations, but personal as to the individuals involved. It was also just one d—— thing after another for Caesar and the Romans. But for the most part, you knew Caesar would prevail, just how would he make it happen.
Side note - Ariovistus was a proper villain - his arguments back to Caesar were “oh snap”. 🤣 (I believe he appears in issue 4 of serial reader)
