Pharsalia Ad Pisonem Poemation... [Latin]

By Marcus Annaeus Lucanus

Pharsalia, also known as De Bello Civili (On the Civil War), is a Roman epic poem by Marcus Annaeus Lucanus, more commonly known as Lucan. It details the civil war between Julius Caesar and the forces of the Roman Senate led by Pompey the Great. Lucan's Pharsalia is notable for its historical subject, its departure from traditional epic conventions, and its intense, dramatic style. This edition offers the poem under its alternate title, "Pharsalia Ad Pisonem Poemation.", presenting Lucan's powerful verse to Latin students and enthusiasts of Roman history and literature.
