Pompei the Great’s death

    We know already about the great that was Rome in Italy, I think these people is more likely to start the civilization standards ever in history. They implemented such rules that’s really strict that only the state and the people in it should follow. One we knew of was Julius Ceasar, who was I think the most famous leader in ancient Roman Empire. But the sad thing is he was killed by his fellow people inside the empire and that ended his life and his rule forever. Today I would like to tell you an event where in another Roman leader who has somewhat have the same fate as of Julius Caesar.


    Pompey the great or Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus was a roman military and political leader in his time, he has achieved success so much in his life, even if he is still young he became very successful in all of his passions in life. He enabled to advance directly to his first consulship without meeting the normal requirements for office. Not only that later on in his leadership he gained the consulship not only once but thrice. Adding to his perspective as a leader, he also celebrated three triumphs or victories all in all against the pirates. It was in Mid- 60 BC when the first triumvirate was formed, together with Marcus Licinius  Crassus and Gauis Julius Caesar. It is also known as a unofficial military- political alliance known at that era.


    And on September 28, 48 BC when Pompey was visiting Egypt, the unexpected thing happened. After landing in Egypt, he was assassinated through the order of King Ptolomey X111. It was a day before suppose to be his birthday September 29. It was marked as one of the history’s remarkable assassinations that was known through the orders of a king.
