Abstract

Only after Crassus's death did the rivalry between Caesar and Pompey come out into the open, ending with Caesar's defeat of Pompey at the Battle of Pharsalus in central Greece (48 b.c.e.). If Crassus felt aggrieved by Pompey, who had been allowed a triumph before he was old enough (35) to be a senator, Pompey worried about Julius Caesar, who was 13 years younger than he and clearly the coming man in Roman public life. Among Crassus, Pompey, and Caesar, Crassus often played the role of mediator. [Extracted from the article]
