contest between

B.C.,

In the year 49

Pompey

and Caesar were the two leading men of their time, and there was no independent authority competent to curb their rivalry. As neither could brook the superiority of the other, a conflict was inevitable,
and their struggle for power involved their country

that both

Pompey and Caesar should

resign their

provinces and disband their armies, and that Caesar

should then go to

to stand for the consulship.
