The head of Pompey was presented to Caesar either by Ptolemy XIII or his agents.
Julius Caesar defeats Pompey.
Caesar did not do anything to Pompey. He pardoned his enemies when they were defeated. He had tried to negotiate with Pompey before he fled to Greece, but Pompey refused. After the defeat at the battle of Pharsalus, Pompey fled to Egypt. The pharaoh Ptolemy XIII was advised to kill Pompey because Caesar was heading for Egypt in his pursuit. His head and ring were presented to Caesar who got very upset and mourned his death. He had the assassins executed. He had Pompey cremated and gave his ashes to his wife.
Julius Caesar knew Pompey from their activities in politics and the military. Both were very famous public figures and they were bound to know each other in ancient Rome. Pompey also married Caesar's daughter so he was Caesar's son-in-law. After the First Triumvirate fell apart, Caesar and Pompey became enemies for control of the Roman empire. Eventually Caesar's legions were victorious and Pompey was murdered in Alexandria where he had sought refuge. Caesar was aghast at the murder and did his best to kill everyone in Egypt who was involved. Pompey lived on however in Roman history. Caesar respected Pompey. Later in the empire when Hadrian was the emperor, he paid a visit to Pompey's tomb in Alexandria. He saw that it was not being preserved in a respectable way and ordered that the tomb be revitalized.
In 54 BC, a significant event in Roman history occurred with the death of Julius Caesar's daughter, Julia, who was married to Pompey the Great. Her passing strained the already fragile alliance between Caesar and Pompey, contributing to the escalating tensions in the Roman Republic. Additionally, in this year, Caesar continued his military campaigns in Gaul, further expanding Roman territory and solidifying his power. These developments set the stage for the eventual civil war between Caesar and Pompey.
They didn't. Greece was Roman territory long before Caesar and Pompey became prominent. It was Sulla that put the finishing touches on the Roman conquest of Greece.They didn't.

To become sole ruler of the Roman empire, Caesar had to win the civil war which he started. First he overtook and defeated Pompey. He then had to defeat Cato.To become sole ruler of the Roman empire, Caesar had to win the civil war which he started. First he overtook and defeated Pompey.

personally i think that Julius Caesar was the noblest roman and Cinna the least noblest roman because he was a conspirator of Julius Caesar even though Julius married Cornelia, Cinna's daughter and had his granddaughter Julia Caesar who became Pompey's wife when she turned sixteen before the civil war of Caesar and Pompey.
The outcome of the Pompey/Caesar civil war was one of the final nails in the republic's coffin. After the defeat of Pompey and Cato, Caesar began his marathon of dictatorship titles and took control of the government. Although already in charge, Caesar was granted the dictatorship for ten years in 46 BC and then for life a year later and "perpetual dictator" a year after that. Even though the facade of the republic continued it was Caesar who was in charge.
The members of the first triumvirate were Julius Caesar, Marcus Crassus and Gaius Pompey, or Pompey the Great as he liked to call himself. Pompey and Crassus were the consuls while Caesar was the one who brokered them into office. Caesar, Pompey, and Crassus formed an alliance that wielded the real power in Rome from 60-54 B.C.
Julius Caesar did not invade Rome. He was a Roman himself. Caesar fought the armies of the senate led by Pompey the Great in what historians have called Caesar's Civil War. Many battles were fought in this civil war. When Caesar defeated Pompey in the Battle of Dyrrhachium in Greece, Pompey fled to Egypt. King Ptolemy XIII, the co-ruler of Egypt with his sister Cleopatra VII, had an officer murder Pompey to ingratiate himself with Caesar. When Caesar reached Alexandria (the Egyptian capital) to pursue Pompey, Ptolemy presented him with Pompey's severed head. Caesar was disgusted. He seized Alexandria and arbitrated the rival claims to the throne of Ptolemy and Cleopatra. He became Cleopatra's lover and sided with her and after winning a local civil war, restored Cleopatra to the throne. Caesar's Civil War continued and Caesar fought more battles, this time against the supporters of Pompey.

Pompey the Great was betrayed stabbed to death in 48 BC by Achillas (one of the guardians of the king of Egypt, Ptolemy XIII Theos Philopator, and commander of the king's troops) Septimius, a Roman soldier. After he was defeated by Julius Caesar, Pompey fled to Egypt hoping to find sanctuary there because he had been friends with the previous king of Egypt, Ptolemy XII Auletes. Instead, the advisors of the new young king suggested killing him to gain Caesar's favour. When Caesar reached Egypt in his pursuit of Pompey, Pompey's head and seal were presented to him. Caesar was disgusted and put the assassins to death.
