  📖 Caesar's Civil War (49–45 BC), was one of the last politico-military conflicts in the Roman Republic before the establishment of the Roman Empire. The war was a four-year-long politico-military struggle, fought in Italy, Illyria, Greece, Egypt, Africa, and Hispania. In a series of battles over the years, Caesar defeated his enemies (the Optimates) and became Dictator for life. The changes to Roman government eliminated the political traditions of the Roman Republic (509–27 BC) and led to the Roman Empire (27 BC–AD 476).

  &quot;Caesar, in Spain the enemy are 70,000. You&apos;ve had full control of Rome for years. How about THIS time bring more troops?&quot;<br>&quot;Hell no, we&apos;re going in with 48.000. And most of them new recruits.&quot;<br>&quot;But....&quot;<br>&quot;What, too many?&quot;

  The story of Caesar and Labienus was almost a Shakespearean tragedy, yet so often overlooked. Nowadays most people refer to Mark Antony as Caesar&apos;s close friend, or even Brutus, but I think none of them ever reached Labienus&apos; status. Likely, had he stayed loyal to Caesar, he would&apos;ve been Caesar&apos;s political heir. They knew each other for a long time. They were of the same age, close friends, and stalwart political allies. Despite being qualified to receive provinces of his own, Labienus agreed to accompany Caesar as his lieutenant when Caesar became governor of Cisalpine Gaul, llyricum, and Transalpine Gaul. For a whole decade, they conquered Gaul together. Nobody knew for sure the true reason why Labienus turned against Caesar. Perhaps his cause was altruistic and he chose to stay loyal to the idea of the Republic, or maybe he resented that he would never receive the credit he thought he deserved if he kept on serving under Caesar despite being a general of the same caliber. From the bits and pieces of history gathered, it seemed that the two men held sentiments for each other still even after they became enemies. When Labienus left, he could&apos;ve brought Caesar&apos;s legions with him, but he didn&apos;t. When Caesar learned of his friend&apos;s defection, Caesar sent his belongings to him. Over the course of the civil war, Caesar would extend many olive branches which Labienus refused. Labienus knew Caesar too well, and the knowledge likely played a large role in his initial victory. After the battle of Munda, Caesar sent his soldiers to search the battlefield for Labienus&apos; body, then buried his old friend with full honors on a field outside of Munda. Despite being the victor, Caesar died only a year later after Labienus. It&apos;s really sad to think about.

  When Caesar&apos;s men disobeyed orders and charged, and Caesar decided to charge with them... Wow. What an incredible leader.

  It&apos;s astonishing how fast the Romans could build and dismantle their camps.<br>I think, that the craftmanship of the soldiers is often overlooked because of the intelligent war tactics.<br>Both is very respectable.
