Descriptionof Caesarian Legionary vs Pompeian Legionary
Manufacturer

Triggered by the tensions surrounding Julius Caesar's return to Rome from Gaul, the civil war that broke out in 49 BC shook the Roman world. Commanders and troops loyal to Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus, known as Pompey, faced Caesar's supporters in a series of brutal battles across the Mediterranean, from Hispania to Greece. William Horsted examines the similarities and differences between the developing Caesarian and Pompeian armies, which included not only Roman legions but also auxiliaries from Gaul, Numidia and elsewhere. Even after Pompey's defeat at Pharsalus (48 BC) and his subsequent death in Egypt, the conflict continued, and Pompey's relatives and supporters continued the fight until 45 BC. The two armies are analysed in the context of three major clashes of the conflict: Dyrrachium (48 BC) in modern Albania; Thapsus (46 BC) in modern Tunisia; and Munda (45 BC) in Spain. The text is supplemented by specially commissioned colour illustrations and maps as well as archive photographs.
