it seemed so unfair that only caesar gets cunty outfits, so thus pompey gets a revenge dress too

plus a little portrait practice of the man himself

WILL NO ONE RID ME OF THIS TROUBLESOME PRIEST ROMAN?

When Caesar arrived in pursuit on the third day, Theodotus showed him Pompey's head and ring, but Caesar was offended and wept.

-Liv. Per. 112.4

the title quotation is referring to the famous quote associated with the henry II-thomas becket conflict. the uhhhhh. the themes match, somewhat. feels the same, in some kind of way. anyway, fucking RIP to caesar and pompey. it's gotta be lonely, to start off as three, and then two, and even locked in conflict, there's a familiarity of being known that you're never going to have again. ah, what loss. what tragedy. etc etc etc.

It's the late Roman Republic...

Now put in the tags what you selected and who you THINK it's referring to... Because I sneakily had at least two people in mind when I made each option and when the poll is over I'll reveal who I had in mind for each option

Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus (Pompey the Great), this marble bust of the famous general was probably created in the early imperial period and is now a part of the Louvre collection.

"What Jocrates?"

"Martanicus there's a giant wooden horse outside"

"..."

"Martanicus this must be a gift from The Eye Martanicus!!"

"Jocrates.."

"Give me the parchment Martanicus, I need to trauma dump"

Brutus joins Pompey, the murderer of his father

"Upon the general separation into two factions, when, Pompey and Caesar taking up arms against one another, the whole empire was turned into confusion, it was commonly believed that he would take Caesar's side; for his father in past time had been put to death by Pompey. But he, thinking it his duty to prefer the interest of the public to his own private feelings, and judging Pompey's to be the better cause, took part with him; though formerly he used not so much as to salute or take any notice of Pompey, if he happened to meet him, esteeming it a pollution to have the least conversation with the murderer of his father. But now, looking upon him as the general of his country, he placed himself under his command, and set sail for Cilicia in quality of lieutenant to Sestius, who had the government of that province. But finding no opportunity there of doing any great service, and hearing that Pompey and Caesar were now near one another and preparing for the battle upon which all depended, he came of his own accord to Macedonia to partake in the danger. At his coming it is said that Pompey was so surprised and so pleased that, rising from his chair in the sight of all who were about him, he saluted and embraced him, as one of the chiefest of his party." ~Plutarch's Life of Brutus

Okay of these three characters (all historical and real) who would you most be interested in reading novel/s about?

Pompeius Magnus - rule breaker, golden boy, literally the most likable guy, builder of great buildings and most successful general ever pretty much. He also respects women which is just unheard of in his day to the point people make fun of him for it. He's also got a lot of tragedy and loss and the most poignant and cinematic death in all of history

Sextus Pompeius - "pirate", rebel, heart of absolute gold, honorable even to the people who deserve it least. Savior to hundreds, lord of Sicily. Dutiful son of a slain father. Also experiences a lot of loss. The last resistance to the totalitarian triumvirs. Very successful against them for years and largely forgotten by history. He was given the libelous title of "pirate king" but that just makes him sound cooler if you ask me

Pompeia Magna - fatherless at age six, tumultuous childhood that ends with her being put in the care of her uncle (this is where history ends and my made up story for her begins) used as a pawn to curry favor with a man she despises who was responsible for the ruin of her family, proud in spite of her humiliation. Taken under the wing of the "empress" who knew her as a child. She brushes shoulders with some of the big names of her day including the eventual successor to the governing of the empire. Without any true family to guard and protect her she is both more exposed to danger but also capable of more freedom of movement. She navigates the deadly waters of Rome to outlive all her enemies and see the men who put her in harms way brought to justice and to finally achieve her lifelong goal of living in security on her family's ancestral lands

Definitely put any further thoughts in the comments and tags

it’s been so long since i drew my pompey

The Bargain

like, sometime just before Pompey and Crassus go all in on their plans for their (first) joint consulship.

the actual. scene. I have for this in my mind that dictates a lot of their dynamic when I draw them is something like this

however. I'm a fucking sucker for a catchy song. I've had tsada mahigugma on repeat for the whole day. usually they're more destroya to me, but. the beat is good.

so! an alternative version of the Bargain that I usually have in mind, because I'll redraw six or seven variations of the same scene if I feel like it, I don't give a fuck. this time it's with all the bite taken out of it and replaced with a night that you'll look back on years later and wonder if it was the right thing. and then decide lmao yeah!! it was! he's the only motherfucker in rome who can handle me!! let's do another joint consulship!

it's the lahat nalang ay kalaban may tao din na para sa'yo, kapit lang dahil darating din yun of it all or whatever!
