Book CXI.

Marcus Caelius Rufus, the praetor, [Y.R. 704. B.C. 48,] having excited a sedition in the city, by holding out hopes to the people that their debts should be annulled, his office being taken from him, was driven from the city: he joined Milo, who, being in exile, [p. 2205] was raising an army of fugitives: they were both slain while preparing for war. Cleopatra, queen of Egypt, was dethroned by her brother Ptolemy. The Cordubians in Spain, harassed by the extortion and oppression of the praetor, Quintus Cassius, desert Caesar's party, together with two legions. Cneius Pompeius being besieged by Caesar at Dyrracchium, beats him out of his lines; the siege being raised, the seat of war was removed to Thessaly; Caesar conquered Pompeius in a battle at Pharsalia. Cicero remained in the camp, as he was a man better calculated for any thing than war. Caesar granted a free pardon to all who submitted themselves to his power.
