Post #4
Welcome, the year is now 60 B.C. I have just become part of the First Triumvirate with Julius Caesar, and Pompey. Julius Caesar is now my good friend because I lent him a big sum of money to help him with his conquests in Spain last year. I am also now good friends with Pompey because we were consuls together back in 70 B.C. I hope that our ruling together will be a good thing for not just me, but for the city of Rome.

Out of our triumvirate, you were the wealthiest of us and the main reason we became powerful. Your money you lent us made us all great people and very memorable for the future, as it also results in Caesar's growth in Gaul and my job as the the Senate's main problem solver.

Thank you, noble Crassus. I do hope that our Rome flourishes because of our triumvirate. Your wealth has truly helped me come to power. I truly appreciate the funds that you have given me. May our friendship last.
