___“THE 3 MEN”___
.
.
.
*the first triumvirate is a term historians use for an ‘informal political alliance’ between 3 prominent men of the late ‘roman republic’*
.
[‘julius caesar’ / ‘pompey the great’ / ‘marcus licinius crassus’]
.
(‘julius caesar’ was a prominent ‘popularis’ (singular of ‘populares’) politician)
(‘pompey’ was considered the greatest military commander of his ‘time’)
(this gave him great ‘prestige’ + ‘popularity’)
(‘crassus’ was a ‘property speculator’, the ‘largest landlord’, and the ‘richest man in ‘rome’’)
(‘pompey’ + ‘crassus’ had ‘extensive patronage networks’)
(the 3 men formed an alliance with which they could gather sufficient popular support to counter the stranglehold the ‘roman senate’ had over ‘roman politics’)
(the senate had thwarted some bills these men had sponsored)
(with this alliance they aimed to overcome the senate’s resistance to these bills and to have them passed)
(the triumvirate lasted from ’59 BC’ to crassus’ death in the ‘battle of carrhae’, where he was defeated during his campaign against the ‘parthians’ in ’53 BC’, this then created friction between ‘caesar’ and ‘pompey’ as they had no buffer)
(the alliance had been kept secret until ‘pompey’ and ‘crassus’ publicly supported a land law proposed by ‘caesar’ in ’58 BC’)
.
(according to ‘goldsworthy’, the alliance was, “not at heart a union of those with the same political ideals and ambitions,” but one where “all [were] seeking personal advantage”)
