		Pompeius was unsuccessful in Spain: he experienced several defeats from the enemy, and in vain laid siege to Nu-mantia.
		Pompeius escaped all punishment for this conduct in relation to the treaty: he was, however, accused shortly afterwards of extortion in his province, but was fortunate enough to obtain an acquittal, although some of the most eminent men at Rome, such as Q. Metellus Macedonicus and L. Metellus Caivus, bore witness against him.

	POMPEIUS AND CRASSUS
		Pompeius' staged display at the transvectio equitum in 70 and Crassus' political finesse at their reconciliation in 70, while Pompeius stood silent as a stone, first suggest this.
		The explanation for these differences in Pompeius' motives from the one Life to the other is twofold: Plutarch tends to portray his heroes more favorably in their own biographies, while characterizing their actions differently elsewhere; and he uses the defects of others as a foil for the character of his subject.
		Pompeius must again face this fear in 62: "reports of all kinds about Pompeius reached Rome beforehand, and there was much uproar on the suspicion that he would advance straightaway against the city, and a permanent monarchy would come to be" (Pomp.

		Nor think, Pompeius, thou shalt plead thy cause In that proud tongue unknown to Parthian ears Of which thy fame is worthy; sobs and tears He shall demand of thee.
		Past the craggy isle Pompeius sailing, left at length astern Its southern cape, and struck across the main With winds transverse and tides; nor reached the mount Grateful to sailors for its nightly gleam: But to the bounds of Egypt hardly won With battling canvas, where divided Nile Pours through the shallows his Pelusian stream.

	Gnaeus Pompeius (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		106-48 B.C. Cnaeus Pompeius was born on 29 September 106 B.C. in the rural, northern region of Picenum.
		That he was of a somewhat provincial background tained him throughout his political career as he competed against the most powerful patricians of Roma: a career which was compromised by the lack of a senatorial pedigree.
		This has been so, from the earliest days when Pompeius, the confident world conqueror, indulgently viewed the up-and-coming young Caesar's efforts to win fame, to the final battle of Pharsalus, in which Pompey surely knew he was likely to be destroyed by his erstwhile protégé.

		About this time certain counsellors came to Pompeius from Rome, together with an army of new recruits, still raw and undisciplined, to take the places of the soldiers who had served their six years.

		Pompeius being no longer under any apprehension concerning the war, since his successor was present, and knowing that he had made a disgraceful peace and without authority from Rome, began to deny that he had come to any understanding with the Numantines.

		Pompeius did all he could to please the Romans when he was consul together with Crassus.
		He had been for some time building a most splendid theatre in the Campus Martius, after the Greek fashion, open to the sky, and with tiers of galleries circling round an arena; but the Greeks had never used their theatres for the savage sports for which this was intended.
		Though Cæsar's army was but small, his fame was such that everybody seemed struck with dismay, even Pompeius himself, and instead of fighting, he carried off all the senators of his party to the South, even to the extreme point of Italy at Brundusium.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2003.11.02
		We are shown Cicero's gradual transit from all but ignoring Sextus to advertising him without mentioning the name of Pompeius, garnished with observations on Brutus as well as on the difficult financial side of bringing Sextus back into the political affairs of the capital.
		The ensuing essay "Sextus Pompeius, Octavianus and Sicily" by Shelley C. Stone III (135-165) is in essence a reprint of a 1983 article with an addendum and revised notes.
		As careful a collection of dispersed material as Lindsay's study is, it does not fit in too well with the rest of the volume (since his focus is of necessity on the continuing social relevance of Sextus' father, not on Sextus himself) and lacks coherence.

	Pompey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hailing from an Italian provincial background, he went on to establish a place for himself in the ranks of Roman nobility, and was given the cognomen of Magnus—the Great by Lucius Cornelius Sulla.
		The son of Gnaeus Pompeius Strabo (strabo meaning cross-eyed), Gnaeus Pompeius was born on September 29, 106 BC, in the consulship of Atilius Serranus and Servilius Caepio, and was, consequently, a few months younger than Marcus Tullius Cicero, who was born on January 3 in this year, and six years older than Gaius Julius Caesar.
		His father Pompeius Strabo was an extremely wealthy man from the Italian region of Picenum and his family was not a part of the ancient families who had dominated Roman politics.

	QUINTUS POMPEIUS FALCO
		The emperor Hadrian's AD122 visit to Britain required considerable pre-planning, and it would seem that the actual line of the Wall was scouted-out in the year prior to Hadrian arriving at the northern frontier, where his large residential building has been identified at Chesterholm/Vindolanda on the Stanegate.
		The initial surveying of the Wall's route was supervised, then, by Quintus Pompeius Falco who had been sent to crush the recent Brigantian revolt and returned to Rome in the emperor Hadrian's train, leaving his successor Platorius Nepos to implement the actual building of the monumental frontier.
		It is possible that the Ninth Hispanic Legion suffered a catastrophic defeat at the hands of the Brigantes tribe of northern England at sometime during his administration, as their last record anywhere within the Roman empire is at York c.

		during which, though the most eminent generals, Sulla, Lucullus, and others, and at last, Cnaeus Pompeius, overcame him, yet it was only so that he rose greater and more glorious to renew the contest, and was rendered even more formidable by his defeats.
		And he died at last, not from being overpowered by his enemies, but by a voluntary death, full of years and on the throne of his ancestors, and leaving his son his heir.
		Trogus Pompeius has given it in the oblique form, as he finds fault with Livius and Sallustius for having exceeded the proper limits of history, by inserting direct speeches in their works only to display their own eloquence.
