		These reports had made the roads dangerous, and drawn off some states from his alliance: whence it happened, that the messengers dispatched by Caesar, by several different roads to Domitius, and by Domitius to Caesar, were not able by any means to accomplish their journey.
		In short, Pompey's whole army talked of nothing but the honors or sums of money which were to be their rewards, or of vengeance on their enemies; and never considered how they were to defeat their enemies, but in what manner they should use their victory.
		However he adhered to his former purpose respecting his cavalry, for as he was by many degrees inferior in number, he selected the youngest and most active of the advanced guard, and desired them to fight intermixed with the horse, and they by constant practice acquired experience in this kind of battle.

	ABSTRACT (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		During the six centuries of the Roman empire, when the Latin-speaking provinces along the Danube formed Rome's northern frontier, the port of Dyrrachium lay at a north-south interface, that between the Latin- and Greek-speaking regions of the Roman world.
		It was perhaps partly for these reasons that the cultural character of the city- Catullus' Â‘tavern of the Adriatic' - and its population has remained elusive.
		The welcome publication of the Greek inscriptions of Dyrrachium (1995) and Apollonia (1997) reveals the differences in character between the two cities already explored in several recent studies.

		[3.42]Pompey, being cut off from Dyrrachium, as he was unable to effect his purpose, took a new resolution, and intrenched himself strongly on a rising ground, which is called Petra, where ships of a small size can come in, and be sheltered from some winds.
		[3.53]Thus six engagements having happened in one day, three at Dyrrachium, and three at the fortifications, when a computation was made of the number of slain, we found that about two thousand fell on Pompey's side, several of them volunteer veterans and centurions.
		[3.84]Corn being provided, and his soldiers refreshed, and a sufficient time having elapsed since the engagement at Dyrrachium, when Caesar thought he had sufficiently sounded the disposition of his troops, he thought that he ought to try whether Pompey had any intention or inclination to come to a battle.
