why do cities join caesar
Caesar claims that many cities defected to his side. This is one of the strongest claims a certain kind of leader can make: that people follow him of their own free will.
TO DO
Read the passage below and answer the following three questions here:
- Why, in Caesar's account, do these cities switch sides and join Caesar?
- Why would you change allegiance from one warring party to the other?
- Do you believe Caesar's account? what exactly do you believe and what do you not believe? why?
