71 - Crassus 1: Richest Man in Rome

[@kman12275]

Fantastic story I learned a lot! I love how there is no bs it just jumps right into the story. It is very immersive. It helps me be able to picture the scenes in my mind.

[@Kerwin-Kendell]

Highly inspiring. And the music really lends itself to the content.

[@costofglory]

Thanks!

[@FutureBoyWonder]

I'm loving this, been having a hard time finding some stuff that fits into my fall of civilizations, history time, voices of the past etc and you guys fit the bill. I'm able to get swept away and even sleep to y'all

[@costofglory]

Imagining Crassus haunting your dreams...

[@jannarkiewicz633]

As i wrap my head around the era, find myself going back to re-listen.

[@costofglory]

It's the greatest and most complicated historical narrative of the entire premodern world...

[@jonlascelles6250]

I love how you explain ancient terms in modern ways. It makes listening very exciting… there’s something almost Carlyle-like about the excitement you engender…

[@costofglory]

My man Carlyle!

Recently found this channel and oh man, excellent stuff. For years I've come into the same old stories of crassus but this gives a LOT of cool details that fill in a lot of blanks and background. Cheers from Canada

[@costofglory]

Apologies to folks who posted comments on the version one. We found some errors and fixed them ASAP. Repost below!

[@MarsRacingNetwork]

I just found your channel recently-it’s awesome! There just isn’t enough historical content like this (particularly around Rome) that I can get my hands on. The late republic/transition to empire and the third century AD are my favorite periods.

[@theConquerersMama]

Absolutely thrilled at finding your channel. May I suggest/request you make some playlists, please. Youre only at 73 at this point as of today... so while definitely a task not as overwhelming as it could be in no time.

[@costofglory]

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll work on it!

[@irollneed]

Found your channel yesterday and I’ve already listened to all Sulla videos you got. Excellent work mate, keep it up!!

[@costofglory]

Thanks!

[@maligjokica]

you made my work day much pleasant today.Doing manual job while listening about Crasus. thanks once again and greetings from former Colonia Flavia Scupinorum:))

[@demonicterror4528]

I can't wait for the next episode!

[@jimmyteerex2177]

Well done, hit the nail on the head.

[@nerdtalkvanwilliams6227]

Great channel dude, on merit you should have way more subs

[@tomawey2141]

This is 🔥🔥🔥

[@Semprini537]

This show is great, never too late to learn something

[@NapoleonBonapaeteusf]

Reminds me of Dan Carlin. This is excellent history and storytelling. I hope you enjoy great success.

[@RoniiNN]

Obvious copy cat with less context

[@NapoleonBonapaeteusf]

@@RoniiNNEvery asshole has an opinion

[@freedinner886]

Wow bro you set this up so nice. Speaking of marius and sulla. Very good bit on roman history that i knew but absorbed it well with your expanation. Thank you. Great video, better than anticipated.

[@thomasdonovan3580]

Crassus ended his career drinking molten gold.

[@MrR1D3R]

No, that was a Roman named Aquillius. Governor of Btthinia.

[@RoniiNN]

They did that when he was already dead supposedly

[@lambrosk3790]

Or so the Germans would have us believe...

[@Kai_Peters]

This is an excellent channel

[@HOWBAZARY]

This was so good! So much to learn from history. Many are doomed to repeat these mistakes. Only a few will study and find the Truth. Thank you. Just subscribed.

[@jolanta0024]

Can't wait for the second part ♥️♥️♥️

[@CleversonSantos]

It was wonderful!!!!

[@DonBailey-od1de]

I knew of the standing Conspiracy , Julius Caesar , Marc Anthony and the richest man in Rome . You just told me more about him then I ever knew

[@costofglory]

[@EvMund]

I cant believe youtube hid this from me for 5 days! And about the guy i find most aspirational too!

[@naucs_]

"think about where he ended up" Crassus in 53 BC in Carrhae: ........

[@tessierashpoolmg7776]

Cost of Glory indeed

[@costofglory]

indeed

[@WissHH-]

In the Republic of Weimar, Germany, in the interwar period Spartacus also inspired the name of the spartacist uprising

[@costofglory]

Did an article on this for Compact. Spartacus Brigade. Incredible stuff.

[@kobalt6927]

So Crassus started like Saul Goodman?

[@costofglory]

Better call Crassus...

[@Ubique2927]

Where was the money kept? This was before banks. Before banking. All that gold, silver and…. .?

[@costofglory]

Well they did have banks actually; State bank in the temple of Saturn, and then there were private bankers. Crassus' net worth was mostly in income-producing assets. But what cash he kept on hand (probably a lot), my guess is that he kept it in his own secret secure place(s).

[@Kai_Peters]

No offense - but if i knew, i wouldn't tell you

[@zersky495]

Marsus Lisinius Srassus

[@andywomack3414]

Am I the first? I like the idea of serving meat by publicly slaughtering, butchering and roasting the animals. How many chickens whose livers provided a glimpse into that day's events then became breakfast? "Spartacus" and "The Vikings" are among my favorite growing-up movies.

[@70snostalgia]

Yeah, much funnier in Latin.
