Quintus Valerius Pompey is a fictional character in the
HBO/
BBC2 original television series,
Rome, played by
Rick Warden. He is described as the "natural son" of
Pompey. The basis for this character is unclear. There is no historical mention of a
Quintus Valerius Pompey, though a lineage with the name
Quintus Pompeius (relatives of
Pompeia, wife of
Julius Caesar) instead existed, but the character may be meant to represent the two sons of
Pompey,
Sextus Pompeius and
Gnaeus Pompeius. He is mentioned to be a great sailor, a trait which Sextus Pompeius had. He also exhibits some of traits reportedly held by the Optimate general
Titus Labienus.
