Description
1670 Lucan PHARSALIA Julius Caesar Civil War Pompey Rome Hugo Grotius Farnaby
“Wars worse than civil on Emathian plains, and crime let loose we sing; how Rome's high race plunged in her vitals her victorious sword;”
― Lucan, Pharsalia
‘Pharsalia’ or ‘On the Civil War’ is an ancient Roman poem detailing the civil war between Julius Caesar and the Senate. Lucan discusses the cultural despair experienced in Rome and also exposes many of the flaws that Julius Caesar possessed in his political and military leadership. In addition to historical importance, ‘Pharsalia’ includes elements of the supernatural, dream interpretation, ghosts, and prophetic visions.
This 17th-century printing is quite desirable for a number of reasons, but none more so than the inclusion of the notes and commentary by Hugo Grotius and Thomas Farnaby, and was edited by Cornelius Schrevel.
