Abstract

chapter, ‘Caesarian Questions: Then, Now, Hence’, but also four essays in Parts 1 and 2. All the contributors have to contend with the problems posed by either too much material or too little, using judicious selection or cautious extrapolation as necessary to reach plausible but often aporetic conclusions. One of the editors’ stated aims is to encourage further research on Caesar’s intellectual achievements (p. 8), and to that end they have reinvented and retitled the genre of the chapter-concluding bibliographical guide, which in this Companion appears under the heading ‘Further Reading and Research’. These guides, and the essays themselves, provide welcome indications of topics worthy of further study with an eye to giving Caesar the writer his due.
