Synopsis

Pharsalia, by Lucan, is an epic poem recounting the civil war between Julius Caesar and the forces of the Roman Senate led by Pompey the Great. This edition represents Volume 2 of the classic work. Written in Latin during the reign of Nero, Pharsalia offers a dramatic and often dark portrayal of a pivotal moment in Roman history. The poem is noted for its historical detail, rhetorical power, and vivid depictions of battle, political intrigue, and the moral decay of Rome. Though unfinished at the time of Lucan's death, it remains a cornerstone of classical literature, influencing writers and artists for centuries with its exploration of power, fate, and the human cost of conflict.
