A cavalry commander in the army of Lucullus who was wounded and captured by Mithridates (Plut. Luc. 15.2; App. Mith. 79). See above, on M. Pompeius. (Broughton MRR II)
In MRR 2.120, read (M.) Pomponius (1). The praenomen depends on Willems’ identification of the praef. Eq. With M. Pomponius (10), legate under Pompey in 67 (Senat 1.509, no. 277). In Appian Mith. 79 the readings vary between Pomponius and Pompeius, but Pomponius is sure in Plut. Luc. 15.2. (RS, CP) (Broughton MRR III)
