Scenarios about 'crassus'

Marcus Licinius Crassus was one of ancient Rome's wealthiest and most influential political figures, forming the First Triumvirate with Julius Caesar and Pompey the Great. His military defeat and death at the Battle of Carrhae in 53 BCE against the Parthian Empire represented a significant Roman setback in the East and altered the balance of power within the triumvirate. In alternate history scenarios, Crassus often serves as a pivotal figure whose survival or different fate could dramatically reshape Roman imperial development and subsequent Western history.
