Caesar in Spain
Caesar left Rome for Spain in the spring of 49 BC, to secure the province and to defeat Pompey?s 7 legions that were under the command of Marcus Petreius, Lucius Afranius, and Marcus Varro. Marching around the coast of Narbonensis, however, Caesar was stopped at the city of Massilia, where the well fortified town had been bribed into supporting Pompey.
