Biography of pompey

Pompey the Great (died 48 BC in Pelusium, Egypt), Roman Republic General and statesman, came to prominence in the 1st century BC with a series of astounding military campaigns, particularly against Gaius Marius (157-86 BC), Roman Republic General and consul, during the Social War.

He also brought a bit calm and order in the Mediterranean Sea after getting rid of the pirates that frequented eastern Mediterranean in 67 BC.
