Synopsis

Julius Caesar: Did He Cross The Channel? is a book written by Surtees, Scott Frederick and published in 1866. The book explores the question of whether or not Julius Caesar, the Roman general and statesman, actually crossed the English Channel during his campaigns in Gaul. The author examines various historical accounts and archaeological evidence to try and determine the truth of this long-debated issue. The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of the question. Surtees discusses Caesar's motivations for invading Britain, the logistics of such an undertaking, and the possible routes he may have taken. He also examines the reliability of the sources that mention Caesar's alleged crossing, including Caesar's own writings and the accounts of later historians. The book is written in a scholarly style and includes numerous footnotes and references. Overall, Julius Caesar: Did He Cross The Channel? is a thorough and well-researched study of a fascinating historical question.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
