Talk:Marcus Licinius Crassus (consul 30 BC)

Name
M. Crassus the consul 30 BC did not have the name Dives and is never given that name in any ancient source. It is a modern fiction but not found in any serious modern work on ancient Rome. Which is why it does not appear in the German Wiki page on this man. Please get rid of it. His office as consul 30 BC is sufficient to distinguish him from other M.

 * I came here to say much the same thing. It's even doubtful that Marcus Crassus the so-called triumvir ever had Dives as part of his name. Cynwolfe (talk) 22:26, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
