Caesar's Civil War — Caesar Versus Pompey

Antony's Arrival - March 27 - April 3, 48 BC

Both Caesar and Pompey were actively moving their forces in strategic maneuvers across Greece.

Mark Antony arrived at the port of Nymphaeum with four legions (approximately 20,000 troops) and 800 cavalry. The plan was not to create a pincer movement, but rather to join with Caesar's forces, who had around 15,000 troops. In comparison, Pompey commanded approximately 45,000 troops.

Initially positioned at Apollonia, Pompey departed northward to intercept Antony's forces, but Antony moved with speed and efficiency and successfully converged with Caesar.
