Content and context
This work contains Julius Caesar's own account of the first year of the Civil War between himself and Pompey. It is the only surviving classical account of such a conflict, written by a directly involved party. Although Caesar's style is clear and concise, his perspective remains tendentious, in which he presents his own and the motives, actions, and capabilities of his opponent in a colored manner. Dramatic elements play an important role in the selection and ordering of the events.
