Excerpt

Originally written in Latin, approximately A.D. 61-65, by the Roman poet Lucan, and probably left unfinished upon his death in A.D. 65.  Although the work has been generally known through most of history as the “Pharsalia”, modern scholarship tends to agree that this was not Lucan’s choice for a title.
