The Battle of Dyrrhachium, 48 BC: Caesar, Pompey, and the Early Campaigns of the Third Roman Civil War
Gareth C. SampsonAn in-depth study of the rivalry between two of Rome’s greatest military commanders—and the battle where they met in combat.
In 49 BC the Roman Republic collapsed once more into bloody civil war. At the heart of this war lay the two greatest living Roman commanders, and former allies, Pompey the Great and Julius Caesar, each having built their own factions within the Roman oligarchy and refusing to compromise. The subsequent civil war would be fought for control of the Republic with each man determined to restore peace and stability to Rome, under their leadership. Yet despite this clash it was eighteen months before the two men met in Battle at Dyrrhachium in Albania.
