'''Pompey''' lived from 106 to 48 BC. A competent if not entirely honest politician, he was also a journeyman military commander under the [[Roman Republic|old Republic]]. Both Syria and [[Palestine]] were added to the Roman sphere of influence by armies he led. At first allying with [[Julius Caesar]], he and [[Crassus]] along with Caesar formed the first [[triumvirate]] basically controlling power in Rome with the will of the senate. Pompey even had a marriage bond with Caesar, marrying his daughter.
