Over forty years after the last monograph on Crassus, this book returns, with a renewed and accurate analysis of ancient sources, to the political experience of this protagonist of the republic. The result is an unusual portrait, where his conception and political activity are inserted in the family context and in the historical framework of his time. The purpose of this study is far from a rehabilitation of Crassus; it is instead to subject stereotypes to stringent criticism, in order to better identify the mechanisms of power as well as of the Roman institutional system.
