Never before have the Roman troops assembled in one location neither greater nor better leaders , which would have easily conquered the whole world , if they were led against barbarians . Nevertheless it has been fought with a huge struggle , at last Pompey has been conquered and his military camps has been destroyed . Himself having been put to flight , he seeks Alexandria , so that he accepts help from the Egyptian king , whom had been given as a guardian by the senate on account of his young age . He having followed fortunate more than friendship , killed Pompey , sent his head and ring to Ceaser . With him having been observed , Ceasar is said to have poured out tears , seeing the head of such a man and formally his own son-in-law .
