Caesar is in the prime of his life and the height of his powers as the novel opens. A man of contradictions, Caesar is happily married yet at the same time the lover of the enigmat ic and subtle Egyptian ruler, Cleopatra. He is at once a great ge neral who commands the instinctive loyalty of Rome's legions, and a man who wishes to bring to an end Rome's endless civil and ext ernal wars, a man not only conscious of his own power, and contem ptuous of lesser men, but respectful of the republic, and determi ned not to be worshipped as a living god or crowned as an emperor , a man whose very greatness attracts envy and jealousy to a dang erous degree.
