Overview:
The only surviving work of the Roman poet Lucan, The Civil War tells of a world gone awry. It presents an apocalyptic vision dominated by the terrifying figure of Julius Caesar, whose resistless will to power drives him to plunge his own nation into civil war. The Civil War also reflects the violence and tyranny of Lucan's own age - a world of terrifying portents, unspeakable magic rites and relentless depictions of cruelty and carnage.
