Gaius Pompey, a Roman general, and consul, was a rival of Julius Caesar in a civil war and was assassinated by a Ptolemaic pharaoh in 48 BC as he escaped to Alexandria. This single column, which is perched on a rocky hilltop in the center of Alexandria, has nothing to do with him. Crusaders believed his grave was marked by a 100-foot (30-meter) red Aswan granite pillar, which is how this tale got its start. The pillar is a triumphal monument built for the Roman Emperor Diocletian in the year 300 AD, but the real importance of this archaeological site lies in what was here before the pillar. The Serapeum, Alexandria's acropolis, is located there.
