Your Life as Marcus Licinius Crassus

This is the entire life of Marcus Licinius Crassus, the richest man in ancient Rome, told from his point of view. In this video we're covering how he built his fortune and how it couldn't buy the one thing Rome cheered for. This is a summary of the complete Crassus story, including the Sulla proscriptions, his private fire brigade, the war against Spartacus, and his alliance with Julius Caesar and Pompey. We follow him from fire-sale real estate and a line of senators at his door, to 6,000 crosses along the Appian Way, the First Triumvirate, and his final campaign against Parthia that ended at the Battle of Carrhae and on a stage in an Armenian palace.
