• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Pompey the Great, first published in 1978, traces the career of this enigmatic character from his first appearance in public life during the Social War, through his early military campaigns in the Civil War 83-82, as the Senate's general during the 70s, to his first consulship 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.
