This annotated edition of Lucan's De Bello Civili offers a new perspective on the Roman poet's powerful denunciation of civil war and political corruption. Written in Latin, with extensive notes in English, the book provides critical context for understanding Lucan's epic poem, including the literary tradition he seeks to continue and subvert.
