No in this case, Caesar made one of his famous dice roll and managed to get 1/2 of his legion across the Adriatic Sea despite Bibilus (his Co-Consul, and one of Pompeiian faction's general) blockade. Roman Calendar requires Pontifex Maximus, the highest elected religious officer to make manual adjustment to the calendar so it won't be out of alignment. Caesar is Pontifex Maximus, but he had been busy the past 10 years, wars in Gaul and the ongoing Civil War, so he didn't have time to make those adjustment, and the calendar was wildly out of wack. The Pompeiian faction thought it was early Winter, making the crossing suicidal, but Caesar knew it was only late Autumn, still dangerous, but manageable. However, he ONLY got 1/2 of his troops across and almost none of the supply. Thus the food problem.

When the battle turned south, her army couldn't properly retreat due to the wagons and got butchered. What could have been a simpe tactical retreat turned into a war-ending defeat.

The Battle of Mount Gindarus (also known as battle of Cyrresthica), (Syria 38 BC) is one of the most underrated Roman military victories, particularly surprisingly so as it earned revenge for one of Rome's most infamous and humiliating defeats, Carrhae. Having your legionaries actually being able to encircle and slaughter Parthian mounted cataphracts is pretty insane, and if you add to that that they managed to kill the enemy commander, who was the heir to the throne of the Parthian empire, turning the tide of what would have otherwise been a devastating invasion, Mount Gindarus earns its place as one of the greatest, overlooked roman military successes.

Roman losses are greatly exaggerated actually.. Polybius most likely overclaimed the Roman losses to create an narrative of doom, to increase the importance of Scipio who defeated Hannibal with smaller force at Zama.. Yet, if you look at what all historians were writing about Cannae, you notice things don't line up - they say Romans lost 50000men out of 80000, and 20000 captured, yet, Scipio Africanus formed 2 full legions out of survivors, who, as punishment were exiled to Sicily.. at the same time, Hannibal released all captured Italians, hoping they will join his cause, but executed Romans as Rome refused to pay ransom.. So unless all men that retreated from Cannae were Romans (which they most definitely were not, as majority were from cavalry, after all even Scipio Africanus was at Cannae as young Equite and managed to escape), there wouldnt be enough survivors to form two legions in the first place...

Compared to Pharsalus Dyrrachium doesn't get as much attention in documentaries and shows like Rome (HBO) and Ancient Rome: Rise and Fall of an Empire

Cassius was a good general~ And a good admiral~ Caeser would not have made him a Legate after he was overtaken otherwise~

I thought Pompey won that one because caesar attacked and yalf his men went the wrong way in no man's land so they narrowly avoided a slaughter... isn't this the one with the story of how caesar attempted to stop the bannerman or whatever the guy holding the eagle standard was called... caesar tried to stop him from retreating but the guy was scared shitless and was basically attacking caesar in a fearful retreat and caesar was only saved by a bodyguard who cut the guy's arm off... also I thought this was the one where Caesar said something along the lines of - 'the war would be over if a better general was leading .... or whatever it was about how if Pompey would have just pressed a counterattack right away as they retreated then he would have won the war right there and then .... yeah I'm pretty sure that was all this battle... but you said Pompey won because of a well executed attack or something but it was really just good defense and good luck that the half of caesar's troops that would have flanked and whooped up on Pompey troops...they accidentally made a wrong turn in no man's land at the fort they were attacking and instead of flanking to get a slaughter win for caesar, they instead took a wrong turn and got themselves cornered and slaughtered themselves by PPompeystroops... so yeah was just a bad luck fail on Caesars part, not a good aattacby pompey... like caesar said... the failed sneak attack turnd slaughter retreat was 1 push counterattack from taking caesar's camp and slaughtering and capturing his men and ending the civil war right there, but for some reason Pompey let them retreat to their camp, happy with just a victory in the slaughter of a good bit of caesar's men... proving to everyone that caesar was just a man and could be beaten... he just should have been smarter..
