Crassus
Author: Peter Stothard
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300256604
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 183
Book Description
The story of Rome's richest man, who died a humiliating desert death in search of military glory "A perfectly paced biography."--Tom Holland, Times Literary Supplement Marcus Licinius Crassus (115-53 BCE) was a modern man in an ancient world, a pioneer disrupter of finance and politics, and the richest man of the last years of the Roman republic. Without his catastrophic ambition, this trailblazing tycoon might have quietly entered history as Rome's first modern political financier. Instead, Crassus and his son led an army on an unprovoked campaign against Parthia into what are now the borderlands of Turkey, Syria, and Iraq, losing a battle at Carrhae which scarred Roman minds for generations. After Crassus was killed, historians told many stories of his demise. Some said that his open mouth, shriveled by desert air, had been filled with molten gold as testament to his lifetime of greed. His story, skillfully told by Peter Stothard, poses both immediate and lasting questions about the intertwining of money, ambition, and power.

Book Description
If you believe what the sources have to say about Marcus Crassus, he was a cruel general, a money loving miser, and only had interest in furthering his own political career. This book serves as an attempt to right some of those lies, innuendos, and slanders by presenting an alternative view of his life and reexamining the 'primary' and secondary sources to gain a better understanding of just who Crassus was.
