Descriptionof The Sons of Pompey the Great
Manufacturer

While the military exploits of Pompey the Great are well known to students of Roman history, the impressive achievements of his sons, Sextus and Gnaeus, are less familiar. Following their father's defeat and death in 48 BC, Pompey's sons continued the struggle against Julius Caesar in Spain, Africa, and Sicily. In 45 BC, the brothers were defeated in the epic Battle of Mundaa victory Caesar described as the hardest-won of his entire careerduring which Gnaeus lost his life. Sextus Pompeius, however, managed to escape to Sicily; from there, he continued the war against the Caesarian faction for another ten years. He transformed the island into a kingdom of his owna secure naval base that supported his formidable fleet in wide-ranging operations. Allied with Caesar's assassins, he fought against the forces of the Second Triumviratenotably against Caesar's adopted son Octavian (the future Emperor Augustus) and his naval commander, Agrippauntil he was finally captured and executed in 35 BC. Lee Fratantuono masterfully recounts the role of Pompey's sons in these dramatic events: a saga filled with politics, diplomacy, and epic battles on both land and sea.
