De Bello Africo
(詳細はLatin work continuing Julius Caesar's commentaries, ''De Bello Gallico'' and ''De Bello Civili'', and its sequel by an unknown author ''De Bello Alexandrino''. It details Caesar's campaigns against his Republican enemies in the province of Africa.
==Authorship==
''De Bello Africo'' is preceded by ''De Bello Alexandrino'' and followed by ''De Bello Hispaniensi''. These three works end the Cesarean corpus relating Caesar's civil war. Though normally collected and bound with Caesar's authentic writings, their authorship has been debated since antiquity. One very plausible theory favors Hirtius as the author of ''De Bello Alexandrino'' (see there for details). But due to considerable differences in style, scholarly consensus has ruled out the author of the latter, as well as Julius Caesar, as the author or authors of the two last parts. It has been suggested〔A. Bouvet, ''La Guerre d'Afrique'', Les Belles-Lettres 1949: introduction, p.xix.〕 that these were in fact rough drafts prepared at the request of Hirtius by two separate soldiers who fought in the respective campaign; and had he survived, Hirtius would have worked them up into more effective literary form. Regarding ''De Bello Africo'', A.G. Way ventures:〔Caesar Alexandrian, African and Spanish Wars, with an English translation by A.G. Way, M.A., The Loeb Classical Library, Harvard University Press MCMLV.〕"The careful chronology and the faithful record of the feelings of the troops suggests a soldier - possibly a junior officer - who was on the spot. That he was young and inexperienced; an ardent, but not always a balanced, partisan; a keen observer of all that went on around him, but without access to the inner counsels of his C.-in-C." (p. 141).
