205 BC (search for this): entry mucianus-p-licinius-crassus-dives-bio-1
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. M

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. Mucianus attained the dignity of pontifex maximus, and A. D. 131 he was elected consul, in which year he left Rome to conduct the war against Aristonicus in Asia, who maintained his claim to the kingdom of Perganius against the will of Attalus III., who had bequeathed it to the Romans. 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 t

ellio (Gellius, 1.13) says that Crassus possessed five things, which of all good things are the greatest and the chief. He was most wealthy, noble, eloquent, most learned in the law, and pontifex maximus. The same historian records an instance of the unreasonable severity with which he punished at the siege of Leucae a deviation from the strict letter of his orders. Crassus had two daughters; the elder lieininia, was the wife of C. Sulpicius Galba, the son of Serv. Sulpicius Galba, consul B. C. 144. (Cic. Brut. 26, 33.) The younger Licinia was the wife of C. Sempronius Gracchus (Plut. Tib. Gracchus, 21; Dig. 24. tit. 3. s. 66), according to Plutarch, whose opinion is supported by the passage in the Digest. Crassus was both an orator and a lawyer. As an orator, however, he is considered by Cicero to have been inferior to his contemporary P. Sulpicius Galba. He was, however, a distinguished speaker, an eminent jurist (Cic. de Orat. 1.37, 56, Brut. 26), and a man of exemplary industry

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
