【 摘 要 】

The Bellum Hispaniense is for the most part considered in scholarship only with respect to textual and linguistic problems and in relation to its deficit in literary qualities. Through a close reading, the present paper analyses the representation of space in this third and last of the pseudo-Caesarian Bella and interprets it in the historiographical context of the Late Republic. It aims to demonstrate that the younger Gnaeus Pompeius’ military strategy in the area of Spain – the occupation of locations on higher ground – is semantically loaded as a ‘barbarian strategy’ and so stands all the more strongly in contrast to the virtus of the Caesarians.
