@Mama_bear_cubs @maher30239413 @romanhistory1 I, for one, would very much like to see Pompey's emails. What has he been hiding?

Marcus Licinius Crassus was considered the richest man in the Roman Republic with a net worth of 200 million sesterces. That is the equivalent of up to 20 billion US dollars today (Elon Musk's net worth)

Whenever I feel like a fuckup I remember that Crassus, the richest man in Rome, lead an army of 40-50,000 men into war against 10,000 Parthian horse archers and managed to lose with a total loss of 30,000 men, causing one of Romes biggest losses.
