Dyrrhachium - Roman Civil Wars

Dyrrhachium 7th July 48 BC - After crossing the Rubicon and forcing Pompey and his senatorial supporters to abandon Italy, Caesar conducted a brisk campaign in Spain against Pompeian forces before turning his attention to dealing with Pompey himself who, in the meantime, had mustered a large army in Macedonia. However, neither side was ready to risk battle straightaway - Pompey's troops were raw and needed training, whilst Caesar had so far only managed to transport seven of his eleven legions across the Adriatic Sea - so the two armies began constructing fortifications until, with only the southernmost part of Caesar's fortifications still unfinished, it was necessary for Pompey to break out before it was too late.
