Pompey's father, Gnaeus Pompeius Strabo, was a rich arrived Italian common from Picenum, one of the homines novi (new men). Pompeius Strabo rose the customary cursus honorum, getting to be quaestor in 104 BC, praetor in 92 BC and emissary in 89 BC, and procured a notoriety for voracity, political cheating and military heartlessness. He upheld Sulla's traditionalist optimates against the popularist general Marius in the first Marian-Sullan war.[3]
He passed on amid the Marian attack against Rome in 87 BC, either as a loss of pandemic torment, or struck by lightning, or potentially both.[3] In Plutarch's record, his body was dragged from its casket by the mob.[4] His twenty year-old child Pompey inherited his homes, his political leanings and the reliability of his armies.

Pompey had served two years under his father's order, and had taken part in the last demonstrations of the Marsic Social War against the Italians. He came back to Rome and was arraigned for misappropriation of loot: his promise to the judge's girl, Antistia, secured a fast acquittal.[5]
For the following few years, the Marians had ownership of Italy.[6] When Sulla came back from battling against Mithridates in 83 BC, Pompey raised three Picenean armies to help him against the Marian administration of Gnaeus Papirius Carbo.[7]
Sulla and his associates removed the Marians in Italy and Rome: Sulla, now Dictator of Rome, was inspired by the junior Pompey's self-assured execution. He tended to him as imperator and offered him his stepdaughter, Aemilia Scaura, in marriage. Aemilia – effectively wedded and pregnant – separated her spouse and Pompey separated Antistia.[8] Though Aemilia kicked the bucket in labor before long, the marriage affirmed Pompey's dedication and significantly helped his career
