Overview
The Battle of Pharsalus in 48 BCE decided the central military contest between Caesar and Pompey. Caesar’s victory ended Pompey’s hopes and left the senatorial cause broken but not reconciled.
Historical Context
Pharsalus was more than a battlefield. It was the collision between Pompeian legitimacy and Caesarian decisiveness.
Consequences
Pompey fled and was killed in Egypt. Caesar emerged as the dominant figure in the Roman world, but military victory did not resolve the political crisis.
