Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus (106-48 B.C.) was a roman general and conqueror. For three decades he was one of the most successful and influential persons in the Republic. But then his fate was turning. His old ally Caesar became more and more powerful and finally he himself became the decisive man. Pompey tried to overwhelm his rival, but fortuna was no longer with him...

  • so what movie is this? 

  • @TheDavid2222

    Julius Caesar (2002).

  • What character does Christopher Walken Play

  • @huizewolters

    Cato Minor.

  • Pompey was killed by his own men because of Caesar; so as a poetic justice, Caesar met with the same fate. Infact its intresting that he died at the feet of Pompey's statue!!

  • That is not correct. Pompey wasn´t killed by his own men but by the men of the egyptian king Ptolemaios. Futhermore Caesar didn´t want him to die. In fact he wanted to show his clementia even against him.

  • Its sad because Pompei and Caesar were friends. They didnt want to fight each other, but the senate turned them against each other.

  • Caesar! Caesar! Poor Pompey, he was awesome too, but..... Caesar!

  • Please stop with the baseless conspiracy theories? Although I would not be surprised if the American government allowed it to happen to gain support for its oil wars. Unfortunately this hardly worked as only americas closest allies even cared about 9/11 and America's selective morality. 3000 Americans die omg! 35000 Iraqis die 5 seconds on CNN.

  • Sooo, does that mean that 9-11 was an inside job?? or what?

  • and in his honor americans created Little Ceasars Pizza......... lol "pizza pizza"
