The Civil War

Pompey's resistance to caesar isn't hugely effective. He tries briefly to rustle up some forces in southern italy, but he ends up leaving from the port of brundisium to go off towards greece and basically heads east. And he'll end up in egypt in forty eight b c. All the time he's trying to get more back. But this fails disastrously in egypt, because he reads the signs wrong. And ptolemy wants to give him up to caesar. No, he has pompey killed and beheaded and the head offered to caesar... So that's the end of pampey.
