Pompey was a rival of Marcus Licinius Crassus and an ally to Gaius Julius Caesar. The three politicians would dominate the Late Roman republic through a political alliance called the First Triumvirate. After the death of Crassus, Pompey and Caesar became rivals, disputing the leadership of the entire Roman state in what is now called Caesar's civil war. Pompey fought on the side of the Optimates, the conservative traditionalist faction in the Roman Senate, and was ultimately defeated by Caesar. He sought refuge in Egypt and was assassinated there.

Nice of those folks to do your homework for you, dude...but you have a computer and you managed to find Yahoo Answers. Ever thought about typing 'Pompey' in a Google or Yahoo search-box and sifting through the results? That way, you wouldn't have to wait around here for answers (some of which I've seen are not-so-accurate).
Empower yourself, dude!
