Links to Free Online Texts of Caesar's Commentaries on the Gallic Wars

A full text edition at Project Gutenberg

An old Loeb Classical Library edition at Google Books. Loeb Classical Library editions are very useful because they have the original Latin (or Greek) on one page, with the English translation on the facing page for easy comparison.

Our textbook, The First Year of Latin, was written to prepare Latin students to read Caesar's Gallic Wars as soon as possible. To help you learn more about Julius Caesar, his military exploits, the Roman army, and the history of ancient Rome, I have collected the following links:

Links to Reference Books

The Bantam New College Latin & English Dictionary by John Traupman  My all-time favorite Latin dictionary.

Cassell's Latin Dictionary  This is my second-favorite dictionary (after the Bantam dictionary by Traupman). I use it when I need a little more detail about a Latin word. It also has some examples of how the word is used by Roman authors.

501 Latin Verbs  In this book, each page is a chart showing all the forms of a given verb. I use it almost daily for reference.

An Interlinear Translation of Caesar's Gallic Wars  This old book is in the public domain, but it's still useful. It has the literal English translation right under each Latin word in the text. This could be very useful to the students in Linney's Latin Class because our textbook has many excerpts from Caesar's Gallic Wars that we will have to translate.
