Lucius Licinius Crassus (140 BC – 91 BC) was a Roman consul. He was considered the greatest Roman orator of his day, by his pupil Cicero.
He became consul in 95 BC. During his consulship a law was passed (the lex Licinia Mucia) requiring all but citizens to leave Rome, an edict which provoked the Social War. In 92 BC he was elected censor with Gnaeus Domitius Ahenobarbus.
A political and financial patron of Julius Caesar, Crassus joined Caesar and Pompey in the unofficial political alliance known as the First Triumvirate. Together the three men dominated the Roman political system. The alliance would not last indefinitely due to the ambitions, egos, and jealousies of the three men. While Caesar and Crassus were lifelong allies, Crassus and Pompey disliked each other and Pompey grew increasingly envious of Caesar's spectacular successes in the Gallic Wars. The alliance was re-stabilized at the Lucca Conference in 56 BC, after which Crassus and Pompey again served jointly as Consuls. Following his second Consulship, Crassus was appointed as the Governor of Roman Syria. Crassus used Syria as the launchpad for a military campaign against the Parthian Empire, Rome's long-time Eastern enemy. Crassus' campaign was a disastrous failure, resulting in his defeat and death at the Battle of Carrhae.
Licinius I (Latin:Gaius Valerius Licinianus Licinius Augustus; c. 263–325) was a Roman emperor from 308 to 324. For most of his reign he was the colleague and rival of Constantine I, with whom he co-authored the Edict of Milan that granted official toleration to Christians in the Roman Empire. He was finally defeated at the Battle of Chrysopolis, before being executed on the orders of Constantine I.
Early reign
Born to a Dacian peasant family in Moesia Superior, Licinius accompanied his close childhood friend, the future emperor Galerius, on the Persian expedition in 298. He was trusted enough by Galerius that in 307 he was sent as an envoy to Maxentius in Italy to attempt to reach some agreement about the latter's illegitimate political position. Galerius then trusted the eastern provinces to Licinius when he went to deal with Maxentius personally after the death of Flavius Valerius Severus.
Upon his return to the east Galerius elevated Licinius to the rank of Augustus in the West on November 11, 308. He received as his immediate command the provinces of Illyricum, Thrace and Pannonia. In 310 he took command of the war against the Sarmatians, inflicting a severe defeat on them and emerging victorious. On the death of Galerius in May 311, Licinius entered into an agreement with Maximinus II (Daia) to share the eastern provinces between them. By this point, not only was Licinius the official Augustus of the west but he also possessed part of the eastern provinces as well, as the Hellespont and the Bosporus became the dividing line, with Licinius taking the European provinces and Maximinus taking the Asian.
The gens Licinia was a celebrated plebeian family at Rome, which appears from the earliest days of the Republic until imperial times, and which eventually obtained the imperial dignity. The first of the gens to obtain the consulship was Gaius Licinius Calvus Stolo, who, as tribune of the plebs from 376 to 367 BC, prevented the election of any of the annual magistrates, until the patricians acquiesced to the passage of the lex Licinia Sextia, or Licinian Rogations. This law, named for Licinius and his colleague, Lucius Sextius, opened the consulship for the first time to the plebeians. Licinius himself was subsequently elected consul in 364 and 361 BC, and from this time, the Licinii became one of the most illustrious gentes in the Republic.
Origin of the gens
The nomen Licinius is derived from the cognomen Licinus, found in a number of Roman gentes. Licinus may have been an ancient praenomen, but few examples of its use as such are known. The name appears to be derived from the EtruscanLecne, which frequently occurs on Etruscan sepulchral monuments. The Licinii were probably of Etruscan origin, and may have come to Rome during the time of the later kings, two of whom, Lucius Tarquinius Priscus and his son or grandson, Lucius Tarquinius Superbus, were themselves Etruscan.

Death of Crassus and the Triumvirate - netflix roman empire series
Crassus is the richest man in Rome.
But he also wants to be a war hero like Caesar and Pompey.
Crassus starts a campaign against the enemy Parthia which ends in defeat. A defeat that Crassus does not survive.

The Life of Crassus by Plutarch
Marcus Licinius Crassus, also called Marcus Licinius Crassus Dives, was a general, a politician, and one of the richest men in history (Dives means "wealthy").
Crassus began his public career as a military commander under Lucius Cornelius Sulla during his civil war. Following Sulla's assumption of the dictatorship, Crassus amassed an enormous fortune through real estate speculation. Crassus then rose to political prominence following his victory over the slave revolt led by Spartacus, sharing the consulship with his rival Pompey the Great.

57 BC | Marcus Licinius Crassus - The Quiet Triumvir
As Caesar wages war in Gaul, and Pompey secures for himself another “Special Command,” Marcus Licinius Crassus re-examines his position within the First Triumvirate.
published: 20 May 2021
What Was Crassus Thinking? - The "fool" of Carrhae
Today I wanted to take a closer look at the common narrative that Crassus was a bumbling idiot who caused the disaster of Carrhae. What was he thinking! Today we will attempt to reconstruct his chain of decisions to determine if they really were misguided.
As a reference for this rehabilitation of Crassus, I recommend the book "Defeat of Rome in the East: Crassus, the Parthians, and the Disastrous Battle of Carrhae, 53 BC" by Gareth C Sampson

The Bizarre Life Of The Man Who Killed Spartacus
Spartacus is a historical figure who is often celebrated as a symbol against oppression. He is a figure that is also popular in pop culture, and Stanley Kubrick’s 1960 movie about the rebellious gladiator has forever etched the phrase “I’m Spartacus” into the history of cinema. But what about the historical figure that killed Spartacus, Marcus Crassus? He is often depicted as the villain in stories about Spartacus. But what is the real truth about the richest man in Rome at the time and the man who crushed the rebellion led by Spartacus? How did he make his vast fortune and how did he rise to power in Rome? The details about Crassus's life are actually bordering on the bizarre and even comical.

Billionaire Lifestyle Of The Richest Man In Rome Marcus Licinius Crassus
Inside The Billionaire Lifestyle Of The Richest Man In Rome
Forget Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk; let’s go way back into history and introduce you to Marcus Licinius Crassus, the richest man in Rome in 60 B.C. Bet you didn’t know there were billionaires back then, as printing money wasn't even a thing and there was no Forbes estimating the ancient billionaires’ wealth.
But as Cersie Lannister once said in Game of Thrones, ‘Power is power.’ That’s what you only need to know about how Marcus became the wealthiest man in ancient Rome.
The Roman Empire was the most powerful economic force that has ever existed. Throughout the empire, there were regional markets, but the idea of marketing didn’t exist and there wasn’t an entrepreneurial environment. What did exist was a culture of greed — all ab...

Inside The Billionaire Lifestyle Of The Richest Man In Rome
Forget Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk; let’s go way back into history and introduce you to Marcus Licinius Crassus, the richest man in Rome in 60 B.C. Bet you didn’t know there were billionaires back then, as printing money wasn't even a thing and there was no Forbes estimating the ancient billionaires’ wealth.
But as Cersie Lannister once said in Game of Thrones, ‘Power is power.’ That’s what you only need to know about how Marcus became the wealthiest man in ancient Rome.
The Roman Empire was the most powerful economic force that has ever existed. Throughout the empire, there were regional markets, but the idea of marketing didn’t exist and there wasn’t an entrepreneurial environment. What did exist was a culture of greed — all about becoming wealthy — that continues till date, no offense to the current mega-billionaires.
Talking about Marcus, he was a 1st century B.C. Roman statesman and general. He conquered, stole and plundered his way to the top of the empire. He used to spend lavishly when he needed to buy himself into the political arena. He had already become wealthy through the slave trade and used his money to gain power amongst the ruling class. When Marcus Licinius Crassus was alive, you didn't have to be born rich - you could make yourself a lot richer by becoming politically powerful. And his life is proof.

Crassus is the richest man in Rome.
But he also wants to be a war hero like Caesar and Pompey.
Crassus starts a campaign against the enemy Parthia which ends in defeat. A defeat that Crassus does not survive.
Why did the Phartians kill Crassus with molten gold you ask. Probably because he was super rich and own a lot of gold.

Marcus Licinius Crassus, also called Marcus Licinius Crassus Dives, was a general, a politician, and one of the richest men in history (Dives means "wealthy").
Crassus began his public career as a military commander under Lucius Cornelius Sulla during his civil war. Following Sulla's assumption of the dictatorship, Crassus amassed an enormous fortune through real estate speculation. Crassus then rose to political prominence following his victory over the slave revolt led by Spartacus, sharing the consulship with his rival Pompey the Great.
A political and financial patron of Julius Caesar, Crassus joined Caesar and Pompey in the unofficial political alliance known as the First Triumvirate. Together, the three men dominated the Roman political system, but the alliance did not last long, due to the ambitions, egos, and jealousies of the three men.
While Caesar and Crassus were lifelong allies, Crassus and Pompey disliked each other and Pompey grew increasingly envious of Caesar's spectacular successes in the Gallic Wars. The alliance was restabilized at the Luca Conference in 56 BC, after which Crassus and Pompey again served jointly as consuls. Following his second consulship, Crassus was appointed as the governor of Roman Syria. Crassus used Syria as the launchpad for a military campaign against the Parthian Empire, Rome's long-time eastern enemy. Crassus' campaign was a disastrous failure, ending in his defeat and death at the Battle of Carrhae.
Crassus' death permanently unraveled the alliance between Caesar and Pompey, since his political influence and wealth had been a counterbalance to the two greater militarists. Within four years of Crassus' death, Caesar crossed the Rubicon and began a civil war against Pompey and the optimates.

Marcus Licinius Crassus, the richest men in Rome. In the last years of the Roman Republic formed the so-called First Triumvirate with Julius Caesar and Pompey to challenge effectively the power of the Senate. Crassus entered this informal coalition partly to effect passage of laws helpful to his business ventures in Asia. From 58 to 56 he supported efforts to neutralize Pompey’s power. He and Pompey were reconciled at a meeting of the three leaders at Luca, Etruria, in 56, and in the following year they were both again made consuls. As governor of Syria in 54, Crassus attempted to gain military glory by embarking on an unwarranted invasion of Parthia, to the east. He was defeated and killed at the Battle of Carrhae in southern Anatolia. Many historians speak, that this was the doom for the republic. His death led to the outbreak of the Civil War between Caesar and Pompey, leaving Rome in fire.
Lucius Licinius Crassus (140 BC – 91 BC) was a Roman consul. He was considered the greatest Roman orator of his day, by his pupil Cicero.
He became consul in 95 BC. During his consulship a law was passed (the lex Licinia Mucia) requiring all but citizens to leave Rome, an edict which provoked the Social War. In 92 BC he was elected censor with Gnaeus Domitius Ahenobarbus.

As Caesar wages war in Gaul, and Pompey secures for himself another “Special Command,” Marcus Licinius Crassus re-examines his position within the First Triumvirate.
Today I wanted to take a closer look at the common narrative that Crassus was a bumbling idiot who caused the disaster of Carrhae. What was he thinking! Today we will attempt to reconstruct his chain of decisions to determine if they really were misguided.
As a reference for this rehabilitation of Crassus, I recommend the book "Defeat of Rome in the East: Crassus, the Parthians, and the Disastrous Battle of Carrhae, 53 BC" by Gareth C Sampson
Spartacus is a historical figure who is often celebrated as a symbol against oppression. He is a figure that is also popular in pop culture, and Stanley Kubrick’s 1960 movie about the rebellious gladiator has forever etched the phrase “I’m Spartacus” into the history of cinema. But what about the historical figure that killed Spartacus, Marcus Crassus? He is often depicted as the villain in stories about Spartacus. But what is the real truth about the richest man in Rome at the time and the man who crushed the rebellion led by Spartacus? How did he make his vast fortune and how did he rise to power in Rome? The details about Crassus's life are actually bordering on the bizarre and even comical.

Inside The Billionaire Lifestyle Of The Richest Man In Rome
Forget Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk; let’s go way back into history and introduce you to Marcus Licinius Crassus, the richest man in Rome in 60 B.C. Bet you didn’t know there were billionaires back then, as printing money wasn't even a thing and there was no Forbes estimating the ancient billionaires’ wealth.
But as Cersie Lannister once said in Game of Thrones, ‘Power is power.’ That’s what you only need to know about how Marcus became the wealthiest man in ancient Rome.
The Roman Empire was the most powerful economic force that has ever existed. Throughout the empire, there were regional markets, but the idea of marketing didn’t exist and there wasn’t an entrepreneurial environment. What did exist was a culture of greed — all about becoming wealthy — that continues till date, no offense to the current mega-billionaires.
Talking about Marcus, he was a 1st century B.C. Roman statesman and general. He conquered, stole and plundered his way to the top of the empire. He used to spend lavishly when he needed to buy himself into the political arena. He had already become wealthy through the slave trade and used his money to gain power amongst the ruling class. When Marcus Licinius Crassus was alive, you didn't have to be born rich - you could make yourself a lot richer by becoming politically powerful. And his life is proof.
