Titus Labienus
The battle preceded peace in Africa—Caesar pulled out and returned to Rome on July 25 of the same year. Opposition, however, would rise again. Titus Labienus, the Pompeian brothers and others had managed to escape to the west to the Hispania provinces. The civil war was not finished, and the [[Battle of Munda]] would soon follow. The Battle of Thapsus is generally regarded as marking the last large scale use of [[war elephant]]s in the West.
