I haven't read the book in question, but I've been working on an "autobiographical" novel as told by Caesar himself, and any account of Caesar's early life has to be fictional because we know almost nothing about his early life. In fact, he's tempting to novelists because for such a famous man we have very little knowledge of his personal life, just of his public deeds. That doesn't mean, of course, that you can falsify the history that surrounded him. Why bother, when it was all so exciting as it was? <p></p><i></i>
