Battle of Munda

Another Civil War that transformed Rome, the Battle of Munda, is where Caesar's Great Civil War ends. It was his last effort to seize control of the Senate. Before he finished his valiant conquest of Rome, he commanded 13 legions and more than 70,000 troops. Pompey's sons, Gnaeus and Sextus, carried on his mission after his death. When Caesar acted to revolt, they captured Cordoba, Spain. At Munda, the Pompeians took a commanding position and profited from it.

In order to trick his adversaries into going downhill, Caesar shrewdly avoided going upward. While the latter was in charge of eight units and 8000 horse riders, the former aggressor had thirteen legions, 6000 infantry soldiers, and roughly 6000 horse riders. Titus Labienus, the commander of the Pompeian army, noticed the movement and moved a few soldiers to the rear. The other Pompeian legions recognized this as a retreat, nevertheless.

They were already deteriorating at the left and right sides when the misunderstanding caused them to break apart. As a result, following this battle, Caesar was proclaimed Dictator in Perpetuity, and Gnaeus and Sextus escaped.

Despite being killed in 44 B.C., he made a significant impact on Rome. Whether for the better or worse, he undoubtedly transformed the Roman Republic into the Roman Empire.
