1. The daughter of Q. Pompeins, consul B. C. 141 [Pompeius, No. 3], married C. Sicinius. (Cic. Brut. 76.)
2. The daughter of Q. Pompeius Rufus, son of the consul of B. C. 88 [Pompeius, No. 8], and of Conelia, the daughter of the dictator Sulla. She married C. Caesar, subsequently the dictator, in B. C. 67, but was divorced by him in B. C. 61, because she was suspected of intriguing with Clodius, who stealthily introduced himself into her husband's house while she was celebrating the mysteries of the Bona Dea. (Suet. Jul. 6; Plut. Caes. 5, 10 ; D. C. 37.45.)
3. The sister of the triumvir, married C. Memmius, who commanded in Sicily under her brother, in B. C. 81, and went as his quaestor into Spain, in the war against Sertorius, in which he was killed, B. C. 75 (Plut. Pomp. 11, Sert. 21; Cic. pro Bulb. 2; Oros. 5.23.)
4. Dauhter of the triumvir by his third wife Mucia. When her father, in B. C. 59, married Julia, the daughter of Julius Caesar, she was promised to Servilius Caepio, to whom Julia had been already betrothed. She did not, however, marry Caepio, but Faustus Sulla, the son of the dictator, to whom she had likewise been previously betrothed. Her husband perished in the African war, B. C. 46, and she and her children fell into the hands of Caesar, who, however, dismissed them in safety. (Plut. Caes. 14, Pomp. 47; D. C. 42.13; Auct. Bell. Afric. 95.) She subsequently married L. Cornelius Cinna, and her son by this marriage, Cn. Cinna Magnus, entered into a conspiracy against Augustus (D. C. 4.14 ; Senec. de Clem. 1.9.) She was with her brother Sextus in Sicily for some time, and she there made presents to the young Tiberius, subsequently emperor, when his parents fled for refuge to the island. (Suet. Tib 6.) As her brother Sextus survived her, she must have died before B. C. 35. (Senec. Consol. ad Polyb. 34.)
5. Daughter of Sex. Pompeins Magnus, the son of the triumvir and of Scribonia. At the peace of Misenum in B. C. 39 she was betrothed to M. Claudius Marcellus, the son of Octavia, the sister of Octavian, but was never married to him. She accoimpanied her father in his flight to Asia, B. C. 36. (Appian, App. BC 5.73; D. C. 48.38, 49.11.) She is not mentioned after this time, but it has been conjectured by commentators, with much probability, that she may have married Scribonius Libo, and had by him a son, Scribonius Libo Drusus; since Tacitus (Tac. Ann. 2.27) calls Pompeius, the triumvir, the proavus of Libo Drusus ; Scribonia, the wife of Augustus, his amita; and the two young Caesars his consobrini. The descent of Libo Drusus would then be, 1. Cn. Pompeius, the triumvir, proavus. 2. Sex. Pomlpeius, avus. 3. Pompeia, mater. 4. Libo Drusus.
6. Of uncertain origin, the wife of P. Vatinius, who was tribune, B. C. 59. She was still alive in B. C. 45. (Cic. Fam. 5.11.)
the mother-in-law of the younger Pliny, to whom one of his letters is addressed. (Ep. 1.4.)
descended from Pompeius Theophanes, was the daughter of Pompeius Macer, and was exiled by Tiberius A. D. 33. (Tac. Ann. 6.18.)
[Paulina, No. 3.]
plebeian, is not mentioned till the second century before the Christian aera : the first member of it who obtained the consulship, Q. Pompeius, in B. C. 14], is described as a man of a humble and obscure origin (Cic. Ver. 5.70, pro Muren. 7, Brut. 25). It is expressly stated that there were two or three distinct families of the Pompeii under the republic (Vell. 2.21); and we can trace two, one of which was broutght into celebrity by Q. Pompeilus, the consul of B. C. 14], and the other is still better known as that to which the triumvir belonged. In the former family we find the surname of Rufus ; in the latter, the father of the triumvir was distinguiished by the personal cognomen of Strabo, and the triumvir himself gained that of Magnus, which he handed down to his children as an hereditary surname. Beside these cognomens we have on coins Faustulus as a a surname of a Sex. Pompeius, who is otherwise unknown, and Pius as a surname of Sextts, the son of Cn. Pompeius Magnus, to designate him as the avenger of his father and brother. (Eckhel, vol. v. p. 280, &c.) But as all the members of these families are usually spoken of under their gentile name, and not under their cognomens, they are given below under Pompeius. In addition to the cognomens already mentioned, we find many others, borne for the most part by freedmen or provincials, who had received the Roman franchise from the Pompeii: of these an alphabetical list is given below.
(1) The daughter of Q. Pompeius Rufus, son of the consul of B.C. 88, and of Cornelia, the daughter of the dictator Sulla. She married C. Caesar, subsequently the dictator, in 67, but was divorced by him in 61, because she was suspected of intriguing with Clodins (q. v.), who stealthily introduced himself into her husband's house while she was celebrating the mysteries of the Bona Dea.
(2) The sister of Cn. Pompey, the triumvir. She married C. Memmius, who was killed in the war against Sertorius, in 75.
(3) Daughter of the triumvir by his third wife Mucia. She married Faustus Sulla, the son of the dictator, who perished in the African War, B.C. 46. She afterwards married L. Cornelius Cinna , and her son by this marriage, Cn. Cinna Magnus , entered into a conspiracy against Augustus. As her brother Sextus survived her, she must have died before 35.
(4) Daughter of Sex. Pompey, the son of the triumvir and of Scribonia. At the peace of Misenum in 39 she was betrothed to M. Marcellus, the son of Octavia, the sister of Octavian, but was never married to him. She accompanied her father in his flight to Asia, 36.
