On the Alexandrian War - version 1.0
The book contains the Latin text and the Italian translation of Gaius Julius Caesar's De Bello Alessandrino, is preceded by a brief introduction that briefly frames the text, the author and the historical story. We have added the final part of De Bello Civili which narrates the initial stages of the historical event.
.....
They captured a quinquereme and a bireme with the crews; three went down, while none of the winners was lost. The rest of the fleet fled to Porto Eunoste.
Caesar understood that he had to prevent the enemies from leaving the port to bring him another attack on the sea; it had to conquer the island of Faro and the long 7-stage pier (1290 meters) that connected it to the city, also because the defences had not yet been completed. This would then give him the opportunity to attack the city too.
