Such memoirs are by nature subjective and complete adherence to the truth should not be expected, especially if the author had written memoranda with at least one eye on the future record.

Ancient Gaulish Coins, Including Those of the Channel Islands
ANCIENT GAULISH COINS, INCLUDING THOSE OF THE CHANNEL ISLANDS. BY BERNARD ROTH, F.S.A. l£7^Zgj£BOUT seven years ago I bought from the executors of the xlj^Yg* late Mr. Henry Willett, of Brighton, some thirty or more g°ld coins of the Ancient Britons, found near Selsey Bill and upon the adjoining coast of Sussex. Amongst them was a coin which I failed to identify. I therefore sent it to the late Sir John Evans, who informed me that it was a coin of the Treviri, a Gaulish tribe of the North of France. At the same time he strongly advised me, if I wished to thoroughly master ancient British coins, to pay some attention to the coinage of the ancient Gauls as there was an intimate connection between them. The outcome of that thoughtful and kind advice is now given in this paper. It is doubtful whether the gold rings and torques which have been found in Gaul as well as in Great Britain and Ireland were really intended for currency or only used as ornaments. If really coins, they were far more ancient, by hundreds of years, than any of those about to be described. According to Monsieur Adrien Blanchet, the learned author of the Traits des Monnaies Gauloises, 1905, the gold stater of Philip of Macedon, which was issued between 359 and 336 B.C., rapidly became known throughout the Greek States and was soon introduced into Gaul by means of the world-wide trade of the Greek Colony of Marseilles. Its first imitation by the Gauls was issued, probably, between 300 and 250 B.C.

Julius Caesar. the Colossus of Rome
JULIUS CAESAR: THE COLOSSUS OF ROME Julius Caesar offers a lively, engaging, and thoroughly up-to-date account of Caesar’s life and times. Richard Billows’ dynamic and fast-paced narrative offers an imaginative recounting of actions and events, providing the ideal introduction to Julius Caesar for general readers and students of classics and ancient history. The book is not just a biography of Caesar, but a historical account and explanation of the decline and fall of the Roman Republican governing system, in which Caesar played a crucial part. To understand Caesar’s life and role, it is necessary to grasp the political, social, and economic problems Rome was grap- pling with, and the deep divisions within Roman society that came from them. Caesar has been seen variously as a mere opportunist, a power-hungry autocrat, an arrogant aristocrat disdaining rivals, a traditional Roman noble politician who stumbled into civil war and autocracy thanks to being misunderstood by his rivals, and even as the ideal man and pattern of all virtues. Billows argues that such portrayals fail to consider adequately the universal testimony of our ancient sources that Roman political life was divided in Caesar’s time into two great political tendencies, called ‘optimates’ and ‘populares’ in the sources, of which Caesar came to be the leader of one: the ‘popularis’ faction. Billows suggests that it is only when we see Caesar as the leader of a great political and social movement, that had been struggling with its rival move- ment for decades and had been several times violently repressed in the course of that struggle, that we can understand how and why Caesar came to fight and win a civil war, and bring the traditional governing system of Rome to an end.

This was Lucan, who has nowhere exhibited more brilliant rhetoric, nor wandered more from the truth, than in the contrasted portraits of Caesar and Pompey. The famous line, “Nil actum reputans si quid superesset agendum,” is a fine feature of the real char- acter, finely expressed. But, if it had been Lucan’s purpose (as possibly, with a view to Pompey’s benefit, in some respects it was) utterly and extravagantly to falsify the character of the great Dictator, by no single trait could he more effectually have fulfilled that purpose, nor in fewer words, than by this expres- sive passage, “Gaudensque viam fecisse ruina.” Such a trait would be almost extravagant applied even to Marius, who (though in many respects a perfect model of Roman grandeur, massy, columnar, imperturbable, and more perhaps than any one man recorded in History capable of justifying the bold illustra- tion of that character in Horace, “Si fractus illabatur orbis, impavidum ferient ruinae”) had, however, a ferocity in his character, and a touch of the devil in him, very rarely united with the same tranquil intrepidity.

2 THE HISTORY OF CIVILIZATION General Editor C. K. Ogden The History of Civilization is a landmark in early twentieth Century publishing. The aim of the general editor, C. K. Ogden, was to “summarise in one comprehensive synthesis the most recent findings and theories of historians, anthropologists, archaeologists, sociologists and all conscientious students of civilization.” The History, which includes titles in the French series L’Evolution de l’Humanité, was published at a formative time in the development of the social sciences, and during a period of significant historical discoveries. A list of the titles in the series can be found at the end of this book. 3 4 First published in 1934 by Routledge, Trench, Trubner Reprinted in 1996,1999 by Routledge 2 Park Square, Milton Park, Abingdon, Oxon, OX14 4RN & 711 Third Avenue, New York, NY 10017 Routledge is an imprint of the Taylor & Francis Group, an informa business First issued in paperback 2013 Transferred to Digital Printing 2008 © 1996 Routledge All rights reserved.
