She had some faith in the words of Dellius, but more in her own attractions, which, having formerly recommended her to Cæsar and the young Cnaeus Pompey, she did not doubt might yet prove more successful with Antony.
There are mistaken insinuations that she thought the chances of Sextus Pompey, with his naval supremacy, better than those of Antony, but these stories refer to his brother Cnaeus, who visited Egypt before Pharsalia. It is probably to this pause in her life, as we know it, that we may refer her activity in repairing and enlarging the national temples.
And if Caesar had been guided by the same principles in that odious and miserable war, we should have to say nothing of their father the two sons of Cnaeus Pompeius, that most illustrious and virtuous man, safe among us, men whose piety and filial affection certainly ought not to have been their ruin. Would that Marcus Lepidus had been able to save them all!
But at the same time he sent his father-in-law Scipio and his son Cnaeus into Syria, to provide ships of war.
Hic interim liber honori Agricolae soceri mei destinatus, professione pietatis aut laudatus erit aut excusatus. IV. Cnaeus Julius Agricola, veteri et illustri Forojuliensium colonia ortus, utrumque avum procuratorem Caesarum habuit: quae equestris nobilitas est.
You might see in the cellars of the slaves, couches covered with the most richly embroidered counterpanes of Cnaeus Pompeius. Wonder not, then, that all these things were so soon consumed. And then his houses and gardens! Oh the cruel audacity! Did you dare to enter into that house?
Cnaeus Mallius Maximus commanded the main force on that side of the river, and he told Caepio, who as consul was in command on the right bank, to cross and effect a junction. But Caepio was as wilful as Minucius had shown himself towards another Maximus in the Second Punic War. Maximus was also defeated, and the Romans were reported to have lost 80,000 men and 20,000 camp followers.
For I suppose he means to bring forward some instance of a very wicked man. "Cnaeus Pompeius himself?" Oh how base must we be, if indeed we have been imitating Cnaeus Pompeius! "Or his son, if he could be at home?" He soon will be at home, believe me; for in a very few days he will enter on his home, and on his father's villas.
In what acts did the third consulship of Cnaeus Pompeius consist? Why, in his laws. And if you could ask Caesar himself what he had done in the city and in the garb of peace, he would reply that he had passed many excellent laws; but his memoranda he would either alter or not produce at all; or, if he did produce them, he would not class them among his acts.
Sulla, having undone the popular measures of the last half century, and reigned supreme over all factions as dictator, died B.C. 78, after a most successful career, and left his mantle to the most enterprising of his lieutenants, Cnaeus Pompey, who was destined to complete the Mithridatic war.
