Accident: A Philosophical and Literary History
Riggsby has written an excellent and very in depth examination of Caesar's motives and actions by peforming a thorough exegisis of Caesar's written material. Riggsby compares Caesar's works to many others in the ancient Roman/Greek world. He makes an excellent case that Caesar redefined the relationship between the common legionaries and the commander, and then extended this relationship to include all of the people of the Roman empire to the leader of the empire. Caesar's words hint strongly that he foresaw that Rome had expanded to such an extent that the old Republic institutions could no longer function. Rome needed a supreme leader; one for which Caesar was superbly suited. Riggsby uses case studies of key topics, such as, spatial representation, ethnography, virtus and technology, genre, and the just war to make his case.
