[edit] CIVIL WAR PHARSALIA OR BELLUM CIVILE

Lucan's epic poem on the civil war between Caesar and Pompey, unfinished at the time of his death, emphasizes the stark, dark horror of the catastrophes which the Roman state inflicted upon itself. This study edition contains both the text and a commentary upon it.

The only surviving work of the Roman poet Lucan and 1 of the supreme achievements of Augustan verse. Lucan was a Roman poet of Spanish origin, the nephew of Seneca. The only 1 of his works to have survived is a sweeping historical epic about the civil wars between Pompey and Caesar, written in 10 books, which both Shelley and Macauley admired.
