Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus received his first triumph in 81 BC. It was granted to him by Sulla who by that time was dictator. It was also at that time he was given the cognomen Magnus "the great" which at the time was meant as a joke.

He did in fact first get his triumph after threatening to march on Rome after he initially was denied a triumph for victories on Sicily and Africa against Marian commanders.

He would later in his career live up to the name Magnus and become one of the most successful roman commanders and his name lives on to this day.

Was killed in egypt by a renegade roman now working for the Egyptians, after he had been defeated by Caesar.
