The siege of Brundisium was an early military confrontation of Caesar's Civil War. Taking place in March 49 BC, it saw the forces of Gaius Julius Caesar's Populares besiege the Italian city of Brundisium on the coast of the Adriatic Sea which was held by a force of Optimates under the command of Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus. After a series of brief skirmishes, during which Caesar tried to blockade the harbour, Pompey abandoned the city and managed to evacuate his men across the Adriatic to Epirus. Pompey's retreat meant that Caesar had full control over the Italian Peninsula, with no way to pursue Pompey's forces in the east he instead decided to head west to confront the legions Pompey had stationed in Hispania.

  • L'assedio di Brindisi del 49 a.C. (l'antica Brundisium) venne posto subito dopo quello di Corfinio, al principio della guerra civile romana, scoppiata tra Gaio Giulio Cesare e gli optimates capeggiati da Gneo Pompeo Magno. (it)
  • O Cerco de Brundísio foi um rápido cerco realizado em 49 a.C. pelas forças de Júlio César contra a cidade de Brundísio, ocupada pelas forças de Pompeu, logo no começo da Segunda Guerra Civil da República Romana. (pt)
  • El sitio de Brindisi fue un enfrentamiento militar sucedido en el año 49 a. C. a comienzos de la segunda guerra civil de la República romana. Tras el cruce del Rubicón Julio César avanzó por la península itálica​ con apenas tres legiones​ casi sin hallar oposición, ya que la mayoría de sus rivales siguieron el plan de Cneo Pompeyo Magno de retirarse al sur para escapar a Epiro, donde esperaban organizar un ejército capaz de derrotar a los cesarianos. ​ Utilizando su ya conocida “guerra relámpago” pero con una clemencia que jamás demostró a los bárbaros durante la Guerra de las Galias.​ La única excepción fue la breve resistencia de Lucio Domicio Enobarbo en Corfinio.​ (es)
