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. So it stands to reason then that this once rich man Crassus would very well have his own legends and myths. That, my friends be what the crux of today's episode is on. I love history, and I hope you'll enjoy a quick dip with me into antiquity. At the least, you'll learn about how some dude died and how he became so filthy rich.
