In spite of the central role he played in Roman history, he remains a shadowy figure compared with the likes of Caesar and Cicero.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePompey 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Leach\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415747333\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415747332\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/07\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.63d","brand":"John Leach","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064954728703,"sku":"9780415747332","price":240.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7ec743ce-a3df-46b8-a147-049a01a09680.jpg?v=1768672158","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pompey-the-great-routledge-revivals-john-leach-9780415747332","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
