Pompeius Magnus or Pompeius the Great or Cn. Pompeius
22. Cn. Pompeius Magnus, the son of No. 21, and afterwards the triumvir, was born on the 30th of September, B. C. 106, in the consulship of Atilirus Serranus and Servilius Caepio.
He was consequently a few months younger than Cicero, who was born on the 3d of January in this year, and six years older than Caesar.
He had scarcely left school before he was summoned to serve under his father in the Social war.
He fought under him in B. C. 89 against the Italians, when he was only seventeen years of age, and continued with him till his death two years afterwards.
He was present at the battle of the Colline Gate, in B. C. 87, and, as has been already related, he saved the life of his father, and quelled an insurrection of the soldiers by his courage and activity.
The death of his father soon after this event left Pompey his own master at the age of nineteen.
The aristocratical party were no longer able to offer any opposition to Marius

Silva'nus, Plau'tius
1. M. Plautius Silvanus, tribune of the plebs, B. C. 89, proposed a law that fifteen persons should be annually elected by each tribe, out of its own body, to be placed in the Album Judicum (Ascon. in Cornel. p. 79, ed. Orelli).
In conjunction with his colleague, C. Papirius Carbo, he also proposed a law conferring the Roman franchise upon the citizens of the foederatae civitates. (Cic. pro Arch. 4; comp. Dict. of Antiq. p. 293a, 2d ed.)

Ti'tius
2. C. Titius, a man who gained his living by pleading causes, but certainly a different person from the preceding, excited a mutiny of the soldiers against the consul L. Porcius Cato in B. C. 89, but nevertheless escaped punishment. (Dio Cass. Fragm. 114, p. 46, Reimar.) [CATO, No. 7.]
