De Bello Hispaniensi
''De Bello Hispaniensi'' (also ''Bellum Hispaniense''; ''On the Hispanic War''; ''On the Spanish War'') is a Latin work continuing Julius Caesar's commentaries, '' De Bello Gallico'' and '' De Bello Civili'', and its sequels by two different unknown authors '' De Bello Alexandrino'' and '' De Bello Africo''. It details Caesar's campaigns on the Iberian Peninsula, ending with the Battle of Munda. Authorship ''De Bello Hispaniensi'' is preceded by '' De Bello Alexandrino'' and '' De Bello Africo''. These three works end the Caesarean 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 Hirtius or Julius Caesar as the authors of the two last parts. It has been suggested that these were in ...

De Bello Africo
''De Bello Africo'' (also ''Bellum Africum''; ''On the African War'') is a Latin work continuing Julius Caesar's accounts of his campaigns, '' 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 Caesarean corpus relating Caesar's Civil War. The historical narratives, though attributed to Caesar, are assumed to have been written by three different anonymous authors around 40 BC. Though normally collected and bound with Caesar's authentic writings, their authorship has been debated since antiquity. One very plausible theory favors Aulus Hirtius as the author of '' De Bello Alexandrino'' (see there for details).

De Bello Alexandrino
''De Bello Alexandrino'' (also ''Bellum Alexandrinum''; ''On the Alexandrine War'') is a Latin work continuing Julius Caesar's commentaries, '' De Bello Gallico'' and '' De Bello Civili''. It details Caesar's campaigns in Alexandria and Asia. Authorship De Bello Alexandrino is followed by '' De Bello Africo'' and '' De Bello Hispaniensi''. These three works end the Caesarean corpus relating Caesar's Civil War. Though normally collected and bound with Caesar's authentic writings, their authorship has been debated since antiquity. Suetonius suggests both Oppius and Hirtius as possible authors of De Bello Alexandrino. Alfred Klotz (1910) demonstrated in great detail that the style of De Bello Alexandrino is very similar to the style of the eighth and last book of '' De Bello Gallico'', which is very commonly attributed to Hirtius. Thus it seems likely on stylistic grounds that if it was Hirtius who completed the Gallic Wars, it was Hirtius also who wrote De Bello Alexandrino. Bu ...
