* We're drawing Crassus as a baby seagull here because at this point, Plutarch continually refers to his age as "very young" and baby chicks are funny looking. But, really, when you do the math he was like 26 or 28.
Years later, Crassus would become the wealthiest man in Rome,

Crassus held strong, while sulla's army began to break. Crassus routed the enemy's left-wing, and chased them until nightfall. News of Crassus' total victory rallied Sulla's men, inspiring a successful counter attack.

Fires were common in Ancient Rome, and Crassus was this as a money-making opportunity.
Either sell the house for cheap to Crassus and he puts the fire out...

* Spartacus's body was never found.
Crassus teamed up with Pompey and Caesar, forming an unofficial political alliance called the first triumvirate.
![Crassus, Caesar, Pompey look at the clouds](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/01407a_0ff82ab88ac14d95a37a4b27afd3f35c~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_55,h_32,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/Page9_P1_sm.png)
He and Pompey became consuls together.

But then didn't agree on anything and literally got nothing done.

Then over the next few years,

So, despite peace treaties, and general disapproval, Crassus was granted a military command to invade Parthia.
The Parthian campaign started off ok...

* Imperator was a title given to a general by his troops after an especially great victory.

but then it got worse,

and ended very badly.

The battle of Carrhae went down in history as one of Rome's most embarrassing defeats.
