I found this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_known_as_the_Great
It must have been a thing when Sulla, however sincerely, called Pompey "Magnus", but the Romans apparently didn't make it a habit.

Thanks, so Britannica got it backwards?
"Antiochus now adopted the ancient Achaemenid title of “great king,” and the Greeks, comparing him to Alexander the Great, surnamed him also “the Great.”
@rogueclassicist
Who first started appending "the Great" to names? I'm guessing it was a Greek talking about Cyrus.

I hope we can cooperate in developing this and that we can acquire the materials to build this without destroying the environment or any peoples that are in the way. I'm afraid we might see yet another 'Avatar' in the near future.
