Pharsalia, Sive De Bello Civili Caesaris Et Pompeii Libri 10

By Marcus Annaeus Lucanus

"Pharsalia," also known as "De Bello Civili," is an epic poem by Marcus Annaeus Lucanus (Lucan) that recounts the Roman Civil War between Julius Caesar and the forces of the Roman Senate led by Pompey the Great. Composed in ten books, the poem dramatically portrays key events and figures of the conflict, offering insights into the political and moral decay of the Roman Republic. Lucan's vivid imagery and rhetorical skill bring to life the battles, conspiracies, and personal tragedies of this pivotal period in Roman history. This edition presents the original Latin text alongside an accessible English translation, allowing modern readers to appreciate Lucan's powerful verse and engage with the historical and literary significance of this timeless epic.
