The Civil War: 50-48 B.C.

In "The Civil War," Julius Caesar chronicles the intense conflict between him and Pompey the Great as they vie for dominance over Rome during a turbulent period. Following the death of Crassus in Syria, Caesar's expansion in Gaul brings him into direct opposition with Pompey, who pressures the Senate to disband Caesar's army. Defiantly, Caesar crosses the Rubicon, marking the beginning of a dramatic civil war that challenges the very fabric of the Roman Republic.
