…Caesar per Italiam iter faciebat. I translated this as “Caesar again marched through Italy.” I consulted Lain dictionaries and could not find facere used this way but it seems logical. Why is facere used in place of more specific verbs? It seems to be a general purpose verb.
a) Why again?
b) Look for iter in the Lewis & Short.
I think you confused iter with iterum
I would translate “Caesar per Italiam iter faciebat” as Caesar made his way through Italy
You are correct!!! I did confuse the two. After translating iter correctly the sentence now falls into place.
