    Default Casualties of the Final War of the Roman Republic?

    Does anybody have a source or an estimate of the final war casualties in general? obviously I checked Wikipedia and it said it was unknown . . .. but there must be some historian who wagered a guess on the casualties.

    Would that be the Battle of Pharsalus? Which battle are you referring to?


    "If ye love wealth greater than liberty,
    the tranquility of servitude greater than
    the animating contest for freedom, go
    home from us in peace. We seek not
    your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch
    down and lick the hand that feeds you,
    and may posterity forget that ye were
    our countrymen."
    -Samuel Adams

    if u r talking about Pharsalus...

    Caesarean: 30 centurions and about 200 legionaries
    Pompeian: allegedly 15000 killed and 24000 taken prisoner.

    source: The Complete Roman Army, p183

    Caesar's war or Augustus', or both?

    I think he is talking about ALL battles invovled, not just a singular battle.

    And the fact that it was still technically called a Republic late into the imperial years only leaves more questions unanswered.

    Be more specific OP, lots of good folks here can help you out if you can just point them in the right direction.

    Specifically I was looking for the Anthony and Octavian civil war, I found casualties of actium but were there any other engagements that produced any noticeable amount of casualties?
