Pompey

Pompey, formally known as Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus, was a prominent Roman general and statesman in the late Roman Republic. Born in 106 BC, he played a crucial role in expanding Rome's territory through military campaigns in the East and against pirates. He was a member of the First Triumvirate alongside Julius Caesar and Crassus but later became Caesar’s rival. His conflict with Caesar led to a civil war, ending with Pompey's defeat and subsequent assassination in 48 BC in Egypt. Pompey is often remembered for his military achievements and complex political legacy in shaping Roman history.
