This short book of information is not restricted to Julius Caesar, it also contains data on those who succeeded him as head of the Roman Empire. Most of the information is about the social, political and economic structure of the Empire in the time of Julius as well as shortly after. You learn among other things about the baths, structure of the military, sports, hygienic methods and the public works. The latter has a specific emphasis on the public entertainments, which of course means the public battles between the gladiators. It is ironic that the Romans considered almost anything to be fair game in the arena, as people and animals were killed in the most brutal manner. 

          In no way can this book be considered anything more than a collection of historical tidbits, presented in a very loose context. Therefore, the title is an accurate reflection of the structure. While you do learn something about life in the Roman Empire, there is very little mention of the primary social and economic structure of the Empire, namely slavery.
