43. The Consulship of Crassus and Pompey

Crassus and Pompey take the consulship by violent storm, backed by Julius Caesar. Their triumvirate wishlist from Lucca will take even more violence to get approved but Crassus and Pompey seem happy to use naked force where bribery and covert coercion fail. We also take a quick look at Caesar’s key legates in Gaul and the civilians that act as his proxies in Rome while he is in Gaul waging war.
