Christian Ilaender
Gaius Julius Caesar (100 - 44 v. Christus)
An ambitious attempt to understand Caesar's life in the context of the late Republic. Includes short, illustrated bios of important figures like the Gracchi Bros., Jugurtha, Marius, and Sulla. For those who don't read German, it is possible to obtain much of this site in a serviceable English translation from Alta Vista. NB: As you move from page to page, the Alta Vista software will ask you to verify the URL of the new page. Before hitting the button, though, you will need to edit delete everything after .html (from the # sign on). Unfortunately, the software quits translating after several screenfuls of text. It's probably easier just to learn German...
