Caesar Says, "I Got in a Bad Situation and Lost One Battle, but I'm Fine"

Pompey's victory increased the spirit and confidence of the pompeians to such an extent that they were no longer thinking of how to win the war. Caesar was now forced to abandon his previous plans and believe that he needed to change his entire strategy for this war. He gathered his army in one place and addressed the troops in assembly, urging them no to be discouraged by what had happened. They should neither be frightened by their present experience, nor consider this single setback as equivalent to their many successful battles.
