Siege of Oricum

The siege of Oricum occurred in the winter of 48 BC during the Civil War, beginning in November. When Caesar approached the city of Oricum in Illyricum with an armed force, the Pompeian commander, Lucius Manlius Torquatus, surrendered without a fight. After Caesar departed for Dyrrhachium with most of his army, Gnaeus Pompeius the younger attacked Oricum with his fleet, and overcoming the harbour defenses prepared by Marcus Acilius Caninus, took the city by storm.
