	Pharsalus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Pharsalus: Greek town in Thessaly, well-known for the famous battle in 48 BCE in which the Roman general Julius Caesar defeated his opponent Pompey the Great.
		Pharsalus was the main city of Phthia, the southeastern part of the Thessalian plain, which is dominated by the river Enipeus and the Othrys mountains.
		Like other Thessalian towns, Pharsalus joined the Aetolian League in 266; it was briefly reoccupied by the Macedonian king Philip V in 198, was garisoned by the Seleucid ruler Antiochus III the Great during the Syrian war, and was added to the Thessalian League by the Romans in 189.

		At the beginning of the tenth century Pharsalus still remained suffragan of Larissa; about 970 it became an autocephalous archbishopric; in 1300 it was elevated by Andronicus II to metropolitan dignity; at the close of the fifteenth century it was again suffragan of Larissa.
		Leake observes that Pharsalus is one of the most important military positions in Greece, as standing at the entrance of the most direct and central of the passes which lead from the plains of Thessaly to the vale of the Spercheius and Thermopylae.
		Pharsalus, however, is chiefly celebrated for the memorable battle fought in its neighbourhood between Caesar and Pompey, B.C. It is a curious fact that Caesar has not mentioned the place where he gained his great victory; and we are indebted for the name to other authorities.
