To Romans of later generations the three decades between the
dictatorships of Sulla and of Caesar were the age of Pompey the
Great. In spite of the central role he played in Roman history, he
remains a shadowy figure compared with the likes of Caesar and
Cicero. Pompey the Great, first published in 1978, traces the
career of this enigmatic character from his first appearance in
public life on the staff of his father Strabo during the Social
War, through his early military campaigns as Sulla's lieutenant in
the Civil War 83-82, as the Senate's general in Italy and Spain
during the 70s, to his first consulship with Crassus in 70. The
important commands against the pirates and Mithridates, the
alliance with Caesar, its eventual collapse into civil war, and the
significance of Pompey's constitutional position for an
understanding of the later Augustan settlement war are all
discussed with clarity and insight.
