Pharsaliae Libri X

By Marcus Annaeus Lucanus

Pharsaliae Libri X, by Marcus Annaeus Lucanus, offers a compelling, poetic account of the Roman Civil War. Commonly known as the "Pharsalia," this epic poem delves into the tumultuous conflict between Julius Caesar and the forces of the Roman Senate led by Pompey the Great.

This edition, edited by Carl Hermann Weise, provides readers with a carefully prepared text of Lucan's original Latin, making it accessible to scholars and students alike. "Pharsalia" remains a significant work for those interested in Roman history, classical literature, and the enduring themes of war and political strife.
