Charles-Alban Horvais, « Pompée, les Italiens et le Sénat (de 62 à 49 av. J.-C.) », Vita Latina, ID : 10670/1.mafiua
This paper attempts to show that Pompey, in order to face the opposition of many senators after his return fromthe East in 62 B. C., decided to encourage the incorporation of members of the Italian elite in the Roman Senate. Those senators, who do not belong to the roman aristocracy, allowed Pompey to obtain a durable support at the Curia during the last decade before the Civil Wars.
