Reading Caesar's text in Latin classes at school is often the source of great frustration. But that need not be the case: This text of Caesar's work defuses the problem and motivates pupils at the same time without distorting the original text.The text is set up on facing pages: The comic version provides the reader with an initial understanding of the text and lightens up some of the more difficult passages, making work with the original text considerably easier to manage.
