In
August
48
BC,
following
the
earlier
battle
at
Dyrrhachium,
the
two
greatest
Roman
commanders
of
their
generation
met
in
battle
again
at
Pharsalus
in
Greece.
Julius
Caesar,
conqueror
of
Gaul,
had
been
defeated
at
Dyrrhachium
and
forced
to
retreat
but
now
stood
at
bay
to
face
Pompey
the
Great,
conqueror
of
the
East.
At
stake
lay
the
future
of
the
ailing
Roman
Republic,
each
man
believing
he
alone
had
the
solution
to
restoring
Republican
government.
Gareth
Sampson
examines
the
campaigns
which
led
up
to
the
battle
as
well
as
the
role
played
by
the
various
regional
powers
who
got
drawn
into
the
Roman
Civil
War.
The
Battle
of
Pharsalus
itself
is
analyzed
in
detail
to
determine
the
strengths
and
weakness
of
both
armies
and
their
various
commanders,
as
well
as
the
organization,
equipment
and
tactics
of
the
forces
involved
in
the
battle
which
culminated
in
a
decisive
victory
for
Caesar.
The
author
concludes
with
consideration
of
the
aftermath
of
the
battle,
which
saw
Pompey
murdered
in
Egypt
and
Caesar
distracted
by
the
affairs
of
the East.
