And the experience of each man was peculiar. For Pompey's name and power were greater in the city when he was away from it, owing to his campaigns; but when he was at home, he was often less powerful than Crassus, because the pomp and circumstance of his life led him to shun crowds, retire from the forum, and render aid to a few only of those who asked it of him, and then with no great zest, that he might keep his influence the more unimpaired for use in his own behalf. But Crassus was continually ready with his services, was ever at hand and easy of access, and always took an active part in the enterprises of the hour.

Plutarch, Crassus

#where’s that paper that’s all ‘Fulvia was a manager and Antony was manageable’ there’s a similar dynamic going on here #but it’s both of them @ each other. Crassus does have a very political manager type of. vibe. though. so it could apply to multiple people #roman republic tag #komiks tag #also this is why Pompey and Caesar were a bad match. like of course they were going to get divorced civil war style #anyway. the new tvxq song. any older kpop fans here. ‘So say you want me cause I’m down’ is rattling around in my head abt these two #when they decided to fuck politics together. like oooooh you two chose each other for real #if I was staging a movie or smth the scene where they shake hands on it would be when changmin does THAT with his vocals #tris homines #marcus licinius crassus #gnaeus pompeius magnus
