The original, in Latin of course, was written for adults of Caesar’s time. It lacked the viewpoint, character description, story like and some of the vivid imagery that would make the story exciting to modern children. Recognizing this, Olivia Coolidge wrote\u00a0Caesar’s Gallic War<\/i>\u00a0in 1961 as a companion to Caesar’s own work.<\/p>\n
A fictional soldier named Octavius narrates this account, giving here all that Caesar left out\u2014the background, the character, the description, the action of the war\u2014in a way that makes sense today.<\/p>\n
Drawing on archaeology and classical research, Coolidge has brought much needed drama to this history and fleshed out the warrior chieftains, common soldiers, politicians, and of course, the supreme commander, who made it.<\/p>\n
