Why Caesar Decided to Write a Style Guide on Writing

In addition to being a great general, caesar was also the earnest hemmingway of his day. It is pretty interesting that he would dedicate so much time to a style guide on writing at a time when he was also so dedicated to war. The romans didn't have great cavalry; they relied on men from allied tribes in gaul and germany. So as caesar gets ready for his second invasion of britain, he calls for lied cavalry from all over gaul to come join him.
