Caesar’s The Civil War is one of the principal surviving accounts of the struggle between Julius Caesar and Pompey that transformed the Roman Republic. Written by Caesar himself, the work provides a detailed first-hand narrative of the campaigns of 49–48 BC, including the march on Rome, the Spanish campaign, Massilia, Dyrrhachium and Pharsalus.
This Penguin Classics edition includes an introduction by Jane F. Gardner placing the text within its historical context, together with a bibliographical note, appendices, glossary and maps. Combining political history, military narrative and classical literature, it remains an essential source for understanding the final years of the Roman Republic and Caesar’s rise to power.
