After his victories in Spain Julius Caesar arrived in Illyricum in January of 48 BC... His legate Marcus Antonius drawn by opposite winds landed further north and his army was chased by Pompey but Caesar with a small portion of his army advanced forcing Pompey to retreat in order not to get caught between the armies of Caesar and Antonius... However in 10 July 48 BC Pompey numbering 45000 men attacked Caesar's 15000 army near Dyrrachium... After some fighting the heavily outnumbered Caesar was flanked by Pompey and realising battle is lost he decided to begin a co-ordinated withdrawal from battlefield rather than die trying to win a hopeless battle... WI Caesar was killed that time during the battle or while evacuating the battlefield? With Caesar out of the picture how is situation in Roman Republic alters? Would Marcus Antonius take the mantle and lead Caesar's men against Pompey or surrender to the Senate and Pompey?
