Pumped the Young person (born in 75 av. J. - C. and died the April 12th 45 av. J. - C), Gnaeus Pompeius in Latin, was a politician and general Roman under the Roman République. He was the son of Pompée Large the and the brother of Sextus Pompée

Pumped the Young person was the oldest son of Pumped and Mucia Tercia, his third wife. He and his/her young brother Sextus Pompeius grew in the shade of their father, one of the largest generals and politicians of Rome, but also thereafter an enemy of César. When this one crossed the Rubicon in 49 av. J. - C, déclanchant of this fact the civil war, Pompée the Young person flees Rome with his father and of many preserving senators.

After the defeat of the legions of Pumped at the time of the Battle of Pharsale in 48 av. J. - C, and his assassination in Egypt on September 29th of this same year, Pumped the Young person and his brother join republican resistance. In the province of Africa, they find Caton d' Utique and Metellus Scipion, like some senators who, with their armies, are on the point of facing César. This resistance will end in a defeat of the republican troops to the Bataille of Thapsus in 46 av. J. - C. However the two brothers succeeded in escaping from the Balearic Islands, where they are joined by Titus Labienus, a former general of César. Together they raised legions in Hispanie.

It is thus the March 17th 45 av. J. - C. with the Bataille of Munda that the last republican legions and the legions of César clashed. In spite of a more or less equivalent power struggle, and after a baited fight, the armies of César bored the republican lines. It followed from there an escape of the republican legions in which 30.000 men died. Titus Labienus died in the combat whereas the brothers Pompée, Gnaeus and Sextus, managed to escape once again. However Pompée the Young person was captured and carried out for treason little time afterwards. His/her brother Sextus Pompeius succeeds in surviving a few years more.
