Pharsalia is an epic poem written by the Roman poet Lucanus, also known as Marcus Annaeus Lucanus. The poem tells the story of the Roman Civil War between Julius Caesar and Pompey the Great, which took place in the first century BCE. The poem is divided into ten books, each containing a different part of the story. It begins with the events leading up to the war and the initial battles between the two sides. As the conflict intensifies, the poem explores the motivations and actions of the various characters involved, including Caesar, Pompey, and their supporters. Throughout the poem, Lucanus also reflects on the nature of power, politics, and war, and the ways in which they can corrupt individuals and societies. He also explores the role of fate and the gods in human affairs, and the ultimate futility of violence and conflict. Pharsalia is considered one of the greatest works of Latin literature, known for its vivid imagery, powerful language, and complex themes. It has been admired by poets and scholars throughout the centuries, and continues to be studied and appreciated today.Lucan's take on some guy name of Caesar crossing the Rubicon to duke it out with a volcano -- maybe I have that wrong, but you'll need to read the book to find out.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
