 Aulus Hirtius - LoveToKnow 1911
He was nominated with C. Vibius Pansa by Caesar for the consulship of 43; and after the dictator's assassination in March 44, he and his colleague supported the senatorial party against M. Antonius, with whom Hirtius had at first sided.
Hirtius, however, compelled Antonius to retire on Mutina, where another battle took place on the 25th (or 27th) of April, in which Hirtius was slain.
Hirtius and the other continuators of Caesar are discussed in M. Schanz, Geschichte der romischen Literatur, i.; also R. Schneider, Bellum Africanum (1905).

 caesar
Het feit dat Hirtius zijn boek publiceert en aan Caesars werk koppelt is een krachtig signaal van een behoorlijk ontwikkeld zelfvertrouwen.
Misschien kunnen we uit Hirtius' brief zelfs afleiden dat Caesar ook verslagen aan anderen dicteerde: het 'vertellen' waar Hirtius zelf getuige van was zal wel geen vrijblijvende borrelpraat geweest zijn.
In deze nieuwe integrale vertaling is ook Hirtius' 'Boek Acht' opgenomen.

 Aulus Hirtius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Caesar had nominated Hirtius and Pansa for the consulship for 43; after the assassination, Hirtius was deeply involved in the maneuvering between parties.
He was honored with a public funeral, along with Gaius Vibius Pansa Caetronianus, who had been killed a few days earlier.
Hirtius added an eighth book to Caesar's De Bello Gallico, and is the likely author of De Bello Alexandrino.

 Aulus Hirtius - Bedeutung, Definition, Erklärung im netlexikon
Ursprünglich ein Anhänger des Marcus Antonius, wurde Hirtius erfolgreich von Cicero, einem persönlichen Freund, für die senatorische Seite abgeworben; er rückte mit einer Armee aus, um Marcus Antonius anzugreifen, der zu der Zeit Mutina belagerte.
Hirtius fügte Caesars De Bello Gallico ein achtes Buch hinzu, das er seinem Freund Lucius Cornelius Balbus Maior widmete, und scheint auch der Autor des Bellum Alexandrinum gewesen zu sein.
Hirtius’ Korrespondenz mit Cicero wurde in neun Büchern veröffentlicht, ist jedoch verloren gegangen.

Aulus Hirtius was one of the young, bright leaders who flocked to Caesar, serving in his legions during the Gallic Wars and in the Civil War of the First Triumvirate.
The loss of Hirtius was severe, for reasons that went beyond his usefulness militarily.
While Suetonius states that Hirtius completed de Bello Gallico, the African and Spanish accounts are far too poor in style and organization, as well as in grammar, to be his efforts.

Hirtius, on the other hand, shows an inability to control his dramatic effects and is unable to create the same sense of closure that Caesar so neatly achieves in the Bellum Gallicum despite focusing exclusively upon Gallic casualties.
The author of the Bellum Hispaniense demonstrates the difficulty of crafting historical narrative by including in his account every violent event, even those that are strategically irrelevant, and offers us the closest thing we have to a soldier's eye-view from this period.

 Druidess, a screenplay by Michael Delving
A Roman officer by the name of Aulus Hirtius, a close friend of Caesar’s, is wounded and becomes separated from his legion, accidentally taking refuge in a sacred Druid grove.
Aulus must decide whether to be true to the Roman ways he was born with, or try to save the few surviving Celts and the remnants of their religion.
Stirring battles offset the tender story of Aulus and Cotuates, and illustrate the possibility that the Romans were not at all the “good guys” our history books teach us.
