That whole section in the article needs to be clarified. It's hard to tell whether or not the writer is discussing the real Pompey, or the fictional Pompey. Links indicate the real one, but it's not a comparison article, in my opinion. Instead, it's a biography of the real one. Any comments? MagnoliaSouth | Talk 14:30, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
This article states that that Pompey is a Patrician, but the DVD commentary says that Pompey is part of the Arriviste class which is a low born class, but one who gained wealth, in which case likely means that he's not a Patrician, but instead a Plebeian. This is also hinted many times throughout the series and most notably when Brutus is grumbling about how Plebs have no loyalty and then he adds (directly to Pompey), "no offense to you of course."
All this is to say, I'm changing it. If anyone disagrees, please let me know.

Sorry about this but you have incorrectly labled this fictitious character with the Historic persons real name. If you look at the Official HBO website you will see that the character is called simply Pompey Magnus. I love the work that has been done here but think that this should reflect the show not the true history. I would like to edit this portion to reflect this. Should you object and feel strongly that I am incorrect of course I will understand that you change it back. Oddly, your external link to the historic figure winds up on a page entitled simply "Pompey".
"Contrary to his portrayal in the series, Pompey at the time was not a doddering old man. At 58, he was only six years older than Caesar." Pompay was portrayed as a doddering old man in the series? I must have missed that. He seemed perfectly vital and capable. He and the other characters in the series kept refering to some of the senators such as Cato as senile old men, I don't remember anyone judging Pompey to be such. And at 62, Kenneth Cranham was just 4 years older than his character. Nightandday ( talk) 11:16, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
