Robert Strassler & Kurt Raaflaub: “The Landmark Julius Caesar” | Talks at Google

The Landmark series has disrupted the publishing world by transforming important ancient texts and making them far more accessible to a modern audience. After a decade of work by top Caesar scholars in the world, the Landmark Julius Caesar has been published. Listen to Kurt A.
