Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Gai Iuli Caesaris De Bello Gallico Commentariorum II. III: Edited, for the Use of Schools
He is said to -have been tall in stature and of a fair complexion. His figure was well-turned; his mouth a little too full; his eyes dark and quick. He enjoyed good health, except that towards the close of his life he was subject to fainting fits, and sometimes awakened in a fright. He was twice seized with epilepsy while transacting business. As to his person he was fastidious and shaved with care. He took his baldness much to heart, as it was often a mark for the jests of detractors, and on that account it was his custom to brush his scanty hair forward on the brow; and of all the honours conferred upon him by Senate and pe0p1e, none was so gratefully received and so willingly used as the right of always wearing a laurel w1eath.
