Description
I'm obviously obsessed with Pompey the Great (I'd like to write a novel about him), so here's another try. A little more realistic, this time.

This is him with his sons, Sextus (on the left) and Gnaeus (on the right).
First I wanted to draw his fifth wife, Cornelia, too, and perhaps his daughter, but I think it's quite ok this way, a father-and-sons-picture. Despite all the trouble with the progeny, fathers mostly are proud of their sons.

While Gnaeus very much looks like his father, Sextus, in my version, doesn't. But perhaps he will gain some weight when he is older.
Sextus could be about seventeen on this picture (he had to watch his father being murdered, not so much later). Gnaeus is a little older than Sextus.

Pompey's sons (whose name were Pompey the Great as well, so it seems useless to spare this name for their father) used to fight in civil war like their father did before. But at last they were killed, too.
