Book VII of Lucan's De Bello Ciuili recounts the decisive victory of Julius Caesar
over Pompey at the Battle of Pharsalus on 9 August 48 BCE. Uniquely within Lucan's
epic, the entire book is devoted to one event, as the narrator struggles to convey
the full horror and significance of Romans fighting against Romans and of the republican
defeat. Book VII shows both De Bello Ciuili and its impassioned, partisan narrator
at their idiosyncratic best. Lucan's account of Pharsalus well illustrates his poem's
macabre aesthetic, his commitment to paradox and hyperbole, and his highly rhetorical
presentation of events. This is the first English commentary on this important book
for more than half a century. It provides extensive help with Lucan's Latin, and seeks
to orientate students and scholars to the most important issues, themes and aspects
of this brilliant poem
