After Pompey's armies were defeated by Caesar's forces in their own civil war, his armies were scattered or surrendered to Caesar. Pompey, however, escaped death. While at sea off the Aegean Coast his ship was boarded by Aya of Alexandria to discuss an alliance with Cleopatra, after agreeing he sailed straight for Egypt. He was later killed upon landing in Egypt by Lucius Septimius, a former soldier in his army.
