description: This volume has three works concerning the campaigns engaged in by the Roman statesman Julius Caesar (100-44 BCE), but not written by him. The Alexandrian War, which deals with troubles elsewhere also, may have been written by Aulus Hirtius (ca. 90-43 BC, Caesar's friend &amp; military subordinate), generally regarded as author of the last book of Caesar's Gallic War. The African War &amp; The Spanish War are detailed accounts by officers who had shared in the campaigns. All three works are important sources of our knowledge of Caesar's career. The Loeb Classical Library edition of Caesar is in three volumes.
