I love this Penquin edition - the translator has a flowing style which makes for a good read; also very useful footnotes and appendix.

Lucan's Civil War, written in his early 20s before he was compelled to kill himself by Nero, is an astonishingly exuberant poem that presents history as political theater - in this case, the clash between Julius Caesar and Pompey. Unlike the usual epic, he dispenses with the machinations of deities and stages instead the raw contest between two egomaniacs with armies criss-crossing the Mediterranean.

Bilingual edition preferred.
