ANTE DIEM QVARTVM NONAS AVGVSTAS SEPTINGENTI QVATTVOR AB VRBE CONDITA (August 2, 49 B.C.) Battle of ILERDA (Lleida)
IVLIVS CÆSAR (Julius Caesar) defeats the Pompeian generals LVCIVS AFRANIVS (Lucius Afranius) and MARCVS PETREIVS (Marcus Petreius) in ILERDA (Lleida), in Hispania (49 BC).
The Lleida Campaign (the Latin Ilerda) was a military campaign, which took place between June and August 49 BC, which involved the legions of IVLIVS CÆSAR (Julius Caesar) and the Spanish army of POMPEIVS (Pompey), led by the his legacies LVCIVS AFRANIVS (Lucius Afranius) and MARCVS PETREIVS (Marcus Petreius). Unlike other episodes of the civil war, it was more than a war campaign, which involved sieges, chases and skirmishes, rather than a true field battle.
But the story was born even earlier in 60 BC, when the Senate of Rome was headed by the first Triumvirate consisting of Gaius Julius Caesar, Gnaeus Pompey Magnus and Marcus Licinius Crassus. But the alliance began to crack, when Pompey became envious of the successes he had obtained Julius Caesar in Gaul, annexing it to the territory of Rome.
But even the Senate began to be afraid of the successes of Julius Caesar, so that both the Senate and the same Pompey, they tightened an alliance, with the excuse of defending the republic, also because Pompey, had been shown closer to the OPTIMATES (Optimal ), unlike Julius Caesar, which was for POPVLARES (People), and guaranteed a stronger attitude of respect for senatorial privileges (though it did not escape the more attentive, as Cicero, that any of the two contenders had prevailed the power of SENATVS (senate) would have been irretrievably compromised

The ILERDA (Lleida) campaign of 49 BC
The clash, always latent, always remained within the limits of the traditional forms of government of Roman power, until 49 BC, when the Senate ordered Julius Caesar to restore his command of the legions that had led to the conquest of Gaul, and to return in Rome by a private citizen. On 10 January abandoning the last doubts, (ALEA IACTA EST), Cesare crossed with his troops the Rubicon, which marked the political border of Italy, starting the civil war against the opposing faction. On the other hand, the senate gathered around Pompey and, in an attempt to defend the republican institutions, decided to declare war on Julius Caesar (49 BC).
Julius Caesar's advance in Italy brought confusion and panic that led Pompey to flee to the East. At that point, Julius Caesar decided to seek loyalty in the western areas, particularly in Spain where Pompey had extended his political influence in the past years.
The campaign of ILERDA (Lleida) in the Hispania Tarraconensis, took place between June and August 2 of 49 BC, seeing in the field, the opposition of the legions of Julius Caesar against the legions of Pompey, led by Pompeii Lucius Afranius and Marcus Petreius.
