So maybe Crassus wasn't Scrooge McDuck rich, but honestly, who could be?! In this episode, you'll learn about a man from ancient Rome who tried to buy himself an empire. The funny thing about ancient history, we don't have many reliable sources to collaborate on surviving testimonies of events. This, in part, explains why we have so many myths and legends.
