Caesar’s Civil War gives the victor’s account of the conflict with Pompey and the senatorial coalition from the crossing into Italy in 49 BCE through Spain, Massilia, Greece and the campaign that culminated at Pharsalus. It also leads into the Alexandrian War and the eastern aftermath. The book is a useful source for routes, sieges, negotiations, army movements and Caesar’s own argument about legality, clemency and necessity.
