| | Pompey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Pompey had been busy in Asia during the consternation of the Catiline Conspiracy, when a young Julius Caesar pitted his will against that of the Consul Cicero and the rest of the Optimates. | | | Some reports of the event suggest that Pompey was inspired by Caesar's refusal to divorce his wife, reminding him of the same scenario that Pompey had faced only two years prior. | | | The nomination was then proposed by the Plebeian Tribune Aulus Gabinius who proposed the Lex Gabinia, giving Pompey command in the war against the Mediterranean pirates, with extensive powers that gave him absolute control over the sea and the coasts for 50 miles inland, setting him above every military leader in the east. |

| | In 67-66 bc, Pompey cleared the Mediterranean Sea of pirates and was subsequently given control of the provinces in the east and put in charge of the war against Mithridates VI of Pontus. | | | Pompey then returned to the aristocratic party, whose members desired to check Caesar's ambitions and deprive him of his command. | | | Pompey subsequently defeated the followers of Marcus Aemilius Lepidus, a one-time Sulla partisan, whom he drove out of Italy, and destroyed the Marian party in Spain (76-71 bc). |

| | Those that were yet remaining and besieged sent their supplications to Pompey, and invited him into the island as a part of his province, alleging it to fall, every part of it, within the distance from the sea specified in his commission, and so within the precincts of his charge. | | | Neither was Pompey guilty in this of ingratitude or unmindfulness of what had occurred in Sicily, which some have laid to his charge, but was guided by a high-minded policy and a deliberate counsel for the security of his country. | | | Most of his officers were slain in the field, and he himself being brought prisoner to Pompey, was by his order put to death. |

| | The Internet Classics Archive Cicero by Plutarch |
| | At which Caesar, being exasperated, joined the party of Clodius against him, and wholly alienated Pompey from him; he also himself declared in a public assembly of the people, that he did not think Lentulus and Cethegus, with their accomplices, were fairly and legally put to death without being brought to trial. | | | But what gave the greatest fear to the nobles was, that he was thought privy to the conspiracy of Catiline, and not to dislike it because of his great debts. | | | Many of the common people out of the neighbouring cities formed a party with Pompey, and he went with them, and drove Clodius out of the Forum, and summoned the people to pass their vote. |

| | At length he began to act openly, and to appear in public business, and, being informed that there were several Roman ships full of treasure that in their course from Asia were to come that way, and that they were commanded by one of his friends, he went to meet him about Carystus. | | | He showed all marks of honour and esteem to Caius for a long time, and left him the use of the ensigns of his office, though, as some report, he had several letters from Rome, and particularly from Cicero, advising him to put him to death. | | | No flattery could ever prevail with him to listen to unjust petitions: and he held that to be overcome by the importunities of shameless and fawning entreaties, though some compliment it with the name of modesty and bashfulness, was the worst disgrace a great man could suffer. |

| | Book review. Pompey the Great. |
| | The book is clearly not intended to spark intense debate about the various political or military issues surrounding Pompey but to provide a readable account of his life and allow the reader to form their own opinions regarding his motivations and actions. | | | Throughout the account of Pompey's life, Southern stresses the importance of his actions for the future course of the Empire and this is continued in the final chapter where she considers his legacy and discusses the situation that might have arisen had he been victorious over Caesar. | | | Pompey generally found popularity amongst the masses at Rome who enjoyed his entertainments, the great spectacle of his triumphs (the only man of the time to have triumphed in Asia, Africa and Europe) and the facilities offered by the theatre he had constructed in the city (the first permanent example of such a structure). |
