Lucius Vorenus:
Surely Pompey had Caesar at greater disadvantage.

Pompey Magnus:
He did... he did. It didn't seem possible to lose. That's always a bad sign.

Pompey Magnus:
[Pompey begins to use a stick to draw the battlefield in the dirt] The battlefield was on a plain by a river at the foot of some low hills. Like this, you see. The lines met here. My men held their ground well, so I sent my horses at his right flank. Which is perfectly correct, you'll agree.

Lucius Vorenus:
I do.

Pompey Magnus:
Only the cowards were repulsed. Repulsed by a single cohort of reserves. Turned and fled, 200 horses. Crashed directly into my left flank. Rolled up my line like a carpet. Put the whole damn army to flight. And here I am. That's how Pompey Magnus was defeated. That's how the Republic died.
