		[21] From Spain, Pompey would be able to threaten Caesar's recent conquests in Gaul, and possibly fall upon Italy from the Alps, for he had strong allies in the romanized southern portions of Gaul, where the city of Massilia had declared for him against Caesar.
		From Africa, Pompey would not only be able to pose a direct threat to Italy by sea, but also would be able to shift forces easily in any direction to counter any possible move by Caesar or for his own purposes.
		From Spain, Pompey would be less able to threaten Italy directly, and unable to intervene quickly in Greece or even Africa, but would be in an excellent position to threaten Gaul, and thence advance overland into Italy.

	Book review. Pompey the Great.
		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).
		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.
		Certainly Pompey and Caesar differed greatly in other ways, but it is Southern's conviction that it was the combination of these differences, working both in unison and opposition, that allowed Octavian to become Augustus and for the Empire to develop as it did.

		Pompey was much pleased to be placed in command of a great army, and he proudly started off with his soldiers for the eastern lands.
		By giving the people a great deal of amusement of this kind on a grand scale, Pompey became the great popular favorite in Rome, and while the people were entertained at his theatre he managed the government to suit himself.
		Pompey had now a very strong hold on the affections of the people, so he cared little for the efforts made by a very ambitious Roman named Julius Cæsar to win public favor.

		Pompey found it out, and on the night set apart for the horrible deed he stole softly out of the tent after having gone to bed, and went with a guard to protect his father.
		Pompey's greatest glory was not in the fact that he had triumphed three times, for other Romans had done likewise, but that he seemed to have led the whole world captive; for his first triumph had been over Africa, his second over Europe, and his third over Asia.
		For a while Pompey's popularity with the populace had not been so great as formerly, but he regained their good will when he was intrusted with the care of supplying the city with corn in a time of scarcity.

		Pompey’s refusal, though an indication of his own personal grief, was also a clear signal that the triumvirate was slowly breaking apart.

		Subsequently he was dispatched to the whole of the seas and then to the far East, and he brought back titles without limit for his country, after the manner of those who conquer in the sacred contests—for these are not crowned with wreaths themselves but crown their native land.
		The crowning pinnacle of this glorious record was (as he himself declared in assembly when discoursing on his achievements) to have found Asia the remotest of the provinces and then to have made her a central dominion of his country.
