assuming not troll

Pompey Magnus, the general, son-in-law, and eventual enemy of Caesar, who fled to Alexandria after losing to Caesar, only to be decapitated by Ptolemy's thugs, seeking Caesar's favor, have his head sent pickled to Caesar, at which point Caesar weeps because he wanted to spare his frenemy.

Not Pompeii, the Roman territory that got destroyed by a Volcano
