In 39 BC, at the peace of
Misenum, Sextus Pompey had betrothed Pompeia to
Marcus Claudius Marcellus, the nephew to the heir of
Roman Dictator
Julius Caesar,
Octavian, and a son to Octavian's elder sister
Octavia Minor. Pompeia and Marcellus in the end never married. She accompanied her father as they fled into
Anatolia in 36 BC. After this moment, Pompeia is not mentioned again in Roman sources. In the past it was commonly held based on speculation that she had married her maternal uncle Libo, but this has been largely rejected by modern scholars. ==See also==
