Biography
Pompeia was born and raised in
Caecilia Metella. Around 47 BC, Faustus died in the African War
against Julius Caesar. Their two sons fell into the hands of Caesar, however he dismissed them as a danger and pardoned them.
After 46 BC, Pompeia married for a second time to politician
Lucius Cornelius Cinna who was consul in 32 BC.[4]
For a time, Pompeia accompanied her younger brother Sextus Pompey to
emperor, Tiberius, who had fled with his parents there from Octavian. Pompeia gave Tiberius such presents as a cloak, a brooch, and a gold bulla. The historian Suetonius states that these presents were preserved and were exhibited in Baiae
in his time. Sextus Pompey survived Pompeia when she died, sometime before 35 BC.
