Line 2: ==Consul of 141 BC== '''Quintus Pompeius Aulus ~~Pompeius~~filius''' (flourished 2nd century BC) was the son of an Aulus Pompeius by an unnamed Roman woman, who was a [[flute]]-player and was of humble origins. Little is known on his early life and early political career. The Roman Senator and Historian [[Cicero]] states that Pompeius first became noticed for his distinction in his oratory. He was consul in 141 BC and in his consulship, was sent to [[Hispania]] as the successor of [[Quintus Caecilius Metellus Macedonicus]] in command of the [[Numantine War]]. After several defeats, he and his troops were kept encamped before the walls of the town during the winter. Many soldiers had died from the weather and illness, Pompeius feared that the [[Roman Senate]] would summon him to [[Rome]] to answer to them for his accountability for the war. Pompeius decided to make peace with the Numantines.
