Born around 75 BC into the Republic's most storied military dynasty, Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus inherited not just his father's name but the impossible task of defending it after Pompey's murder in Egypt. He fought Caesar's faction through the civil wars that tore Rome apart in the 40s BC, rallying his father's old supporters and commanding armies in Spain. The campaign ended at Munda in 45 BC, where Caesar's legions crushed the Pompeian cause. Gnaeus was hunted down and killed on April 12, thirty years old, the last of his line to die fighting for a republic that no longer existed.
