Acclaimed by the Roman populace in his lifetime, his traditional virtues and military successes put to shame his civil-war rival Octavian. After his death, he was passionately and safely abused by Octavian and Augustan writers as a marginal nuisance, a pirate. The image of a 'second rank' figure has been propagated by scholars into recent times. But a very different story can now be constructed, from the testimony of historians and poets in antiquity and from the eloquent and long-neglected coinage of Sextus Pompeius himself. Here ten studies from an international cast reveal a figure whose actions and image shaped the ethos not just of the civil-war period but of the early Principate.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68069128601888,"sku":"USED0715631276","price":76.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/51qYffXkwzL.jpg?v=1793405211","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/sextus-pompeius-0715631276-used","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
