Pompey the Great (106–48 BC)
Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus, Pompey the Great (106–48 BC): Rome’s most famous general, Caesar’s partner and son-in-law.
Pompey earned the surname Magnus, “the Great,” through his campaigns in Hispania, against the pirates and in the East. In 60 BC he formed a triumvirate with Caesar and Crassus, and after Julia’s death he drew closer to the Senate. He lost to Caesar at Pharsalus in 48 BC and was murdered in Egypt.
