7. Pompey Over Pirates

Pompey aims to gain an unprecedented command to wage war on the Mediterranean’s pirates. Julius Caesar works to get in the General’s good graces.

 

Correction #1: In this episode I say Julius Caesar visits Transalpine Gaul after his Quaestorship. In fact, he visited Transpadane Gaul which is in the area of the Po Valley within the province of Cisalpine Gaul (Northern Italy). Transalpine Gaul did not have Latin Rights.

 

Correction #2: In this episode I say Lucullus raised catfish. While I can't find any source that specifically states the type of fish he raised, it is likely he was raising bearded or barbed mullets.

 

Note: Lucullus does eventually receive his triumph but it takes a few years and a lot of political wrangling from the leading men of the senate to make it happen.

 

Correction #3: Pompey has been referred to as adulescentulus carnifex. My apologies for botching this pronunciation. 

 

Correction #4: Mithridates was the father-in-law of Tigranes, not brother-in-law.
