Caesars Kvinder er fjerde bind i serien Den romerske Familie, hvoraf der tidligere er udkommet Ærens Vej, Græskronen og Fortunas Udvalgte. I Fortunas Udvalgte blev banen kridtet op for magtkampen mellem den unge fremstormende Caesar og den ganske usœdvanlig selvbevidste og ambitiøse kamphane, Pompeius der, da ingen andre ville, gav sig selv tilnavnet Magnus, den Store. Tidsmœssigt befinder vi os nu o. 68-58 f.Kr. At det antikke republikkens Rom overhovedet formåede at danne skole for det vestlige demokrati er egentlig helt ufatteligt.

Græskronen er fortsættelsen af den dramatiske historie om Roms storhed og fald i republikkens tid, som blev indledt med Ærens Vej. Ufreden breder sig i republikkens Rom. I disse år omkring århundredskiftet f.Kr. må de stolte senatorer se i øjnene, at staten har vokset sig for stor, og at det i stigende grad bliver umuligt at holde provinserne nede.
