At Corfinium, Julius Caesar besieged the town where many of his rivals, including Pompey's supporters, had taken refuge. After a prolonged siege, the soldiers and citizens of Corfinium surrendered. Instead of executing or punishing them, Caesar showed clemency by allowing the soldiers to join his ranks, which helped to bolster his forces and demonstrate his leadership. This act of mercy was part of his broader strategy to win over opponents and consolidate power.
