He is one of the great tragic figures of history: Gnaeus Pompeius Maximus. A protégé of Lucius Cornelius Sulla, young Pompey quelled the rebellions of the followers of Sulla’s rival, Gaius Marius. He went on to finish of the rebellion of Spartacus and the wars with Mithradates VI of Pontus. When pirates overran the Mediterranean, it was Pompey who defeated them and secured the Sea for Rome. As a triumphant general, Pompey joined forces with unlikely allies Gaius Julius Caesar and Marcus Licinius Crassus. When this unofficial “First Triumvirate” fell apart, Rome was plunged into civil war, leading to the creation of the Empire.
