-'''Marcus Licineus Crassus''' (ca. 115 BC – 53 BC) was a [[Roman]] general and politician who wielded considerable influence in the later stages of the [[Roman Republic]].  He generalled [[Sulla]]'s troops in his victory over the Marians, suppressed the slave revolt led by [[Spartacus]] and entered into a secret pact, known as the First [[Triumvirate]], with [[Pompey]] and [[Julius Caesar]].  Getting the legions in Syria as his part of the pact, Crassus dreamed of conquering the [[Parthia|Parthian]] empire, but his efforts at glory ended in disaster when his [[legions]] suffered one of the worst defeats in Roman history at the [[Battle of Carrhae]] and died shortly thereafter while still in Parthia.
