48 BC: The Battle of Pharsalus
#1
Steven James has posted another paper on academia.edu.  Abstract and link below:

Abstract: This paper is an in-depth analysis of the battle of Pharsalus and provides an breakdown of both Caesar and Pompey’s armies. The size, organisation, frontage and depth of the armies and the legions involved on both sides have been fully investigated. The conclusions and tactics of both Caesar and Pompey as found here contravene conventional thinking about the battle of Pharsalus, yet still closely adhere to the accounts of Appian, Caesar, Cassius Dio, Eutropius, Florus, Orosius and Plutarch. At Pharsalus, it took Caesar’s army of 37,000 men less than one hour to defeat Pompey’s army of 63,000 men.
