Summary: "The Gate to Cæsar" by William C. Collar is a historical text written in the late 19th century. This work serves as a simplified version of Julius Caesar's "Gallic War," specifically tailored for young Latin learners and educators. The book aims to provide a more accessible entry point into the complex narrative and syntax of Caesar's original text, shedding light on the military campaigns of the Romans in Gaul. The opening of this text discusses the context in which it was created, reflecting on the challenges that students face when initially studying Cæsar’s writings. Collar observes that Cæsar's prose can be quite difficult due to its intricate structures and vocabulary. To address this, he expresses his intent to present a simplified version of Cæsar's "Gallic War," specifically the events leading to the conflict with the Belgians. He emphasizes the need for a smoother transition to Cæsar's work by omitting convoluted sentences while retaining the core narrative, enabling learners to grasp the historical content more effectively. The subsequent chapters promise to delve into the strategies, encounters, and outcomes of the Roman military campaigns, providing a thorough understanding of this significant period in history.
