Publisher's Synopsis
It seemed no one could compare in wealth to King Croesus, the wealthiest man of ancient times. But, Marcus Licinius Crassus, a patrician Roman and son of a triumvir, and mentor to Gaius Julius Caesar was able to accumulate an even greater wealth. Using guile, deceit and Sulla's proscriptions, Crassus acquired the wealth he longed to accumulate. Rich in historical facts, let Richer than Croesus transport you back to the turbulent times of Ancient Rome's first century B.C.
