Pompey's Statue

Summary:

“Then he (Caesar) came into Alexandria after Pompey was slain, and detested Theodotus that presented him Pompey’s head, and turned his head aside because he would not see it. He took his seal, and beholding it, wept.” —Plutarch

Caesar has a statue built in Pompey's honour, but it won't replace what was lost.

Notes:

This little conversation popped up in my head after reading and watching things about the battle of Pharsalus, and how Caesar may have reacted to Pompey's death. I hope you enjoyed it :)
