Poor Crassus. He was the stooge of the Triumverate. He never got the military glory he wanted and actually should have been given prior to the Triumverate. Pompeii stole his rightful glory in taking down Spartacus. I always thought Cassius got the short straw in that deal but it’s hard to feel sorry for a guy like Crassus. He would stand outside of people’s burning homes with his private fire department and negotiate the cost of putting out the fire with the owner. By the property for penny on the dollar. He was a pretty crooked business man and the richest Roman by far.

I read my own evening posts and i see that Irish wine and typing aren’t compatible. My 4th grade English teacher would take me to the woodshed.
