Date of Pharsalus
#1
Simple question - difficult answer. The battle of Pharsalus is commonly dated 9 August. Of course, in the republican calendar, this was 9 Sextilis; and of course, in our (post-Caesarian reform) calendar it was June. Which source says 9 August or 9 Sextilis? I can't find it in Caesar's Civil War, Livy's Periochae, or Dio.
