Pompeius Strabo granted the privilege of Roman citizenship to a group of Spanish cavalrymen who were serving with him in the war, as a reward for their bravery, under the terms of the lex Iulia.
Pompeius, of course, must already have established himself as the major Roman figure in the eyes of the inhabitants of Hispania citerior as a result of the Sertorian war, and the aftermath of that war remained with the region for some time.
Pompeius, the elder son of the dead leader, to the Balearic islands, which he managed to capture and, although illness prevented him from landing in Spain proper, Pompeian sympathizers in the further province caused considerable difficulties for Trebonius.(120) Probably early in 46, Cnaeus succeeded in landing on the mainland, and besieged Carthago Nova.

 Electronic Antiquities Volume I, Number 3
Political affinity with Pompeius Strabo in 89 may seem surprising given that Sulpicius was closely linked during the nineties with those eminent supporters of Drusus who met at Tusculum in 91.(24) It appears that Pompeius Strabo was no friend of this group.
Pompeius Strabo may also have shared common political ground with Antistius, the tribune who aided Sulpicius in his opposition to the controversial candidacy.
240-241, Pompeius Strabo's recent outstanding military achievements may have encouraged the general's belief that he would be reappointed for a second consular term, a beneficiary of the Marian tradition of continuing tenure of office during a military crisis.

 The Principate   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
The first triumvirate, between Gaius Iulius Cæsar, Gnæus Pompeius Magnus and Lucius Licinius Crassus finally settled the political struggle in favour of the populares, but with the coming of this dominant faction, other problems arose when Crassus was slain in battle against the Parthians in 53 BC.
The paranoia between Cæsar and Pompeius, who claimed to fight for the restoration of the republic, resulted in a new civil war that ended in favour of Cæsar, after which he assumed the sole leadership of the Roman "republic", which only nominally existed at that time.
Partially out of fear of Cæsar's ambitions as a future monarch, and a resurgence of republican feelings, he was killed by Cassius and Brutus, who were in turn defeated by the second triumvirate, which consisted of the veteran politician Marcus Antonius, the aforementioned young Octavianus - adopted by Cæsar - and Marcus Lepidus.

Lucullus was highly succesfull but finally his command was taken over by Pompeius Magnus, and this turned the optimates against Pompeius.
His ancestry must been senatorial, how ever, because Cicero didn`t count him as a new man. The consuls of this year were censors in 70 bc, and with senatorial support sacked many senators from the senate, among them Lentulus Sura, the consul of next year and a cousin of Clodianus.
Often it has been thought that Crassus and Pompeius made a military coup, forcing the senate to make them consuls by threatening with their armies.
