brief_description
Tells the gripping true story of the momentous events of 48-47 BC, during which, according to most history books, Caesar "dallied in Egypt." What those books don't mention is that this "dalliance" was a bitter seven-month life-or-death struggle; that Caesar was opposed by a well-equipped and determined Egyptian army that had just murdered Pompey [...] and that without the Sixth Legion, Caesar would never have made it out of Egypt alive. -- Publisher's description.
