That was part of his charm, also because he was known to be a very skilled fighter, but that's also the reason why an experienced and unconventional general like Sertorius could easily entrap him the first time. Leading from the front, a commander has not a real awareness of the general situation. The sertorian war had been an useful experience for Pompey. There, he had been trained by the best.
