Pompey / 庞培

Pompey / 庞培 appears in 124. 恺撒之死：历史的韵脚，是否已失效？ as [[JuliusCaesar|Caesar]]’s ally turned civil-war rival. The episode places him in the First Triumvirate with Caesar and Crassus, a political arrangement held together partly by alliance interests and Caesar’s daughter Julia.

After Crassus and Julia died, the episode treats Pompey and Caesar’s relationship as increasingly unstable. Pompey aligned with the Senate side, Caesar crossed the Rubicon, and Pompey eventually fled to Egypt, where he was murdered by Ptolemaic agents. Caesar’s response is presented as grief or anger rather than triumph because he wanted Pompey defeated and perhaps reconciled, not killed by outsiders.

Pompey’s memory also shapes the [[CaesarAssassination|assassination scene]] because the killing occurs at Pompey’s Curia, giving the conspirators a symbolic setting tied to Caesar’s old rival.
