ial Rule 12. V. VIII. Changes in the Arrangement of Magistracies and the Jury-System 13. This number was specified by Pompeius himself (Caesar, B.C. i. 6), and it agrees with the statement that he lost in Italy about 60 cohorts or 30,000 men, and took 25,000 over to Greece (Caesar, B.C. iii. 10). 14. V. VII. With the Bellovaci 15. The decree of the senate was passed on the 7th January; on the 18th it had been already for several days known in Rome that Caesar had crossed the boundary (Cic. ad Att. vii. 10; ix. 10, 4); the messenger needed at the very least three days from Rome to Ravenna. According to this the setting out of Caesar falls about the 12th January, which according to the current reduction corresponds to the Julian 24 Nov. 704. 16. IV. IX. Pompeius 17. IV. XI. Italian Revenues 18. V. VII. Caesar in Spain 19. V. VII. Venetian War ff. 20. III. VI. Scipio Driven Back to the Coast 21. V. X. Caesar Takes the Offensive 22. V. VII. Illyria 23. As according to formal law the "legal deliberative assembly" undoubtedly, just like the "legal court," could only take place in the city itself or within the precincts, the assembly representing the senate in the African army called itself the "three hundred" (Bell. Afric. 88, 90; Appian, ii. 95), not because it consisted of 300 members, but because this was the ancient normal number of senators (i. 98). It is very likely that this assembly recruited its ranks by equites of repute; but, when Plutarch makes the three hundred to be Italian wholesale dealers (Cato Min. 59, 61), he has misunderstood his authority (Bell. Afr. 90). Of a similar kind must have been the arrangement as to the quasi-senate already in Thessalonica. 24. V. X. Indignation of the Anarchist Party against Caesar 25. V. X. The Pompeian Army 26. V. IV. And Brought Back by Gabinius 27. V. X. Caesar's Fleet and Army in Illyricum Destroyed 28. According to the rectified calendar on the 5th Nov. 705. 29. V. X. Result of the Campaign as a Whole 30. The exact determination of the field of battle is difficult. Appian (ii. 75) expressly places it between (New) Pharsalus (now Fersala) and the Enipeus. Of the two streams, which alone are of any importance in the question, and are undoubtedly the Apidanus and Enipeus of the ancients--the Sofadhitiko and the Fersaliti--the former has its sources in the mountains of Thaumaci (Dhomoko) and the Dolopian hei
