Promote Crassus

With his five-year tenure as a Proconsul nearing an end, and facing judicial prosecution with the loss of his imperium, Caesar arranged to meet Crassus and Pompey. At Luca in Italy, close to the border of Cisalpine Gaul, the Triumviri discussed their next move against their political enemies, the traditionalist Optimates. In exchange for their support in securing a five-year extension to his Proconsulship, Caesar backed both Crassus and Pompey in their bid for the Consulships of 55BC.
