After a decade of work by top Caesar scholars in the world, the Landmark Julius Caesar has been published. Listen to Kurt A. Raaflaub, Professor Emeritus of Classics at Brown University, and Robert Strassler, Founder & Editor of Landmark books, discuss what makes this edition and Julius Caesar so unique.
