The son of Pompey the Great cast a long shadow. Acclaimed by the
Roman populace in his lifetime, his traditional virtues and
military successes put to shame his civil war rival Octavian. After
his death, he was passionately and safely abused by Octavian and
poets as a marginal nuisance, a pirate. The image of a second rank'
figure has been propagated into modern times by Syme and Zanker,
but extensive ancient evidence makes possible a very different
story. Here seven new studies from an international cast
reconstruct a figure whose actions and image shaped not just the
civil war period but also the character of the early principate.
