Sextus Pompey College
Sextus Pompeius Collega was a Roman politician during the Flavian dynasty .
He was a son of Gnaeus Pompeius Collega, who was suffect consul and governor of the province of Cappadocia-Galatia under Emperor Vespasian in 71 . Pompey became full consul with Quintus Peducaeus Priscinus in 93 .
As consular , he took part in a three-day Senate meeting in the year 100, chaired by Emperor Trajan , in which the indictment against Marius Priscus, the proconsul of the province of Africa , for his corrupt conduct of office was heard. Marius Priscus had allowed himself to be bribed, to have innocent people charged and then to bring the convicts to execution. Accused with him was Flavius Martinus, who bribed the proconsul and carried out the death sentences. In the Senate session there were two motions: first, that of Cornutus Pertullus, who asked to collect the bribe for the aerarium and, in addition, to resolve the banishment of the accused; on the other hand, the motion of Pompeius College, which pleaded for a lighter sentence. According to Pompey, Marius Priscus should only pay the bribe to the state treasury, while Martinus should be banished for only five years. However, Pompey Collega's motion was rejected by the Senate.
