i forget who, but someone poured molten gold in his mouth

Legends say the King (or a lesser Governor) of Parthia, a Middle-Eastern Kingdom Crassus was fighting, poured molten gold down his throat, but this is probably not true and in any case took place after his death. Crassus was killed when a fight broke out between a visiting Parthian delegation to his camp and his own officers.

What caused the collapse of roman republic?

Here's what happened:Caesar WA getting to popular and the people absolutley loved him. Crassus and Pompey started to notice this, so they thought that if Caesar wanted, he could take over the leadership and become king of Rome. So Crassus and Pompey sent Caesar away into Gaul; there he was supposed to be put in shame. BUT..... he wasn't put into shame at Gaul, instead he gained glory there. Crassus who was old died and so Pompey was left alone in Rome, however, he still needed Caesar out of the picture. So, Pompey sent a letter to Caesar saying, "Congratulation on you Glory in Gaul, Please return to Rome so that we may 'Congratulate' you even more!" Not being stupid, Caesar knew that Pompey was preparing to kill him at night, while he was sleeping. This WA true! Pompey was preparing to kill him. He wanted to stab him multiple times at night (accidentally) so that no one could find out. However, Caesar took his men and started a Civil War against Pompey. Pompey ost the civil war and fled to Egypt and was later killed by Cleopatra. She presented Pompey's head on a plate and gave it to Caesar in order to be on his "good side". After that Caesar stayed at Egypt for a while "looking for Pompey's men". During that time Cleopatra gave birth to a baby named Caesarion, who she insisted was Caesar's child. Caesar however was like "that ain't my child" and left him. (lol the first abondenship from a father) Anyway no one knows if Caesarion is actually Caesar's kid (because we have no DNA test back then). However Caesarion literally means "little Caesar". Anyway, after Caesar left, Caesarion started a pizza buisness and named it 'Little Caesars" (jk :D) UGH! we got off topic; it collapse after Pompey and Crassus died, and Caesar took control of Rome. If you want to know more you have to ask about how did the 2nd Triumvirate start. Hope this helped alot of you people out there. CYA!MIKE2896 :P
