January 68 BC: In 69 BC, the consul Quintus Caecilius Metellus was tasked by the Senate with the conquest of Crete. He captured one Cretan city after another, while Pompey fought against the pirates at sea. The defeated Cretans only wanted to submit to Pompey, and he accepted their submission, even though Quintus Caecilius Metellus was the actual conqueror who made Crete a Roman province.
