Julius Caesar (No Fear Shakespeare)

by: SparkNotes Editors
As an older adult that is somewhat isolated I started the study of Shakespeare on my own with just a big book that had annotaions that were often more cofusing than enlightening. It was rewarding but it was like plowing through a field full of big rocks. I found reading two or three scenes of an act with No Fear Shakespeare and then reading the corresponding section of Asimov's Guide to Shakespeare great fun. No Fear explains the nuances of language and setting while Asimov gives rich insight to the characters and events that makes it so easy to remember the varied characters and plot twists.

The Ides: Caesar's Murder and the War for Rome

by: Stephen Dando-Collins
The Ides by historian Stephen Dando-Collins is an extremely readable book on a disturbing and in many ways intriguing subject - the quest for a noble cause through an ignoble act. A schophant senate showers Julius Caesar with honors and titles, including dictator for life, until there remains no other to bestow but one : King of Rome. Five centuries have gone by since the expulsion of kings. No one wants them back. Rome is a republic. In a world of symbolism, people find cause for suspecting that Caesar, while pretending to reject it, wants in fact to be king.

Emperor: The Death of Kings: A Novel of Julius Caesar (The Emperor Series)

by: Conn Iggulden
This is grim stuff. One of the things that attracts me to Caesar is that his (extremely well documented) life reads like an adventure novel. A straightforward novelisation works well.
The "history" in this book is so laughably bad, so poorly linked to the reality, so flagrant with its driving of coaches and horses through the fabric of reality that its almost amusing.
Avoid this like the plague.
