042 CAESAR'S CIVIL WAR

1-985042

Updated and revised edition offers an overview of Rome's Civil War between Julius Caesar and Pompey the Great. Together they had brought vast stretches of territory under Roman dominion, but in 49 BC they turned against each other and plunged Rome into civil war. Legion was pitched against legion in a vicious battle for political domination of the vast Roman world. The armies were evenly matched, but in the end, Caesar's genius as a commander and his great good luck brought him victory in 45 BC.
