Mucia'nus, P. Lici'nius Crassus Dives
was the son of P. Mucius Scaevola, consul B. C. 175, and brother of P. Mucius Scaevola, who was consul B. C. 133, in the year in which Tib. Gracchus lost his life. (Plut. Tib. Gracchus, 9.) Mucianus was adopted by P. Licinius Crassus Dives, who was the son of P. Licinius Crassus Dives, consul B. C. 205.
This at least is Drumann's opinion, who thinks that it is more probable that he was adopted by the son than by the father. On being adopted he assumed, according to Roman fashion. the name of Crassus, with the addition of Mucianus, which indicated his former gens. Cicero (Cic. de Orat. 1.56) speaks of his being a candidate for the aedileship; and he gives an anecdote of Serv. Sulpicius Galba, who was a distinguished orator, pressing Crassus hard on a question of law, and of Crassus being compelled to support his legal opinion against the equitable arguments of Servius by referring to the writings of his brother, P. Mucius, and of Sext. Aelius.

Crassus was the first pontifex maximus, according to Livy (Liv. Epit. 59) who went beyond the limits of Italy; but this is not true, unless Scipio Nasica was deprived of his office, for Nasica was pontifex maximus B. C. 133, after the death of Tib. Gracchus, and retired to Asia, where he soon died. (Plut. Tib. Gracchus, 21.) Crassus succeeded Nasica in the pontificate. Crassus was unsuccessful in the war.
He was attacked at the siege of Leucae by Aristonicus, and
