Crassus, Claudius
2. C. Licinius Crassus, C. F. P. N., brother of No. 1, was praetor in B. C. 172, and in B. C. 171 served as legatus with his brother in Greece, and commanded the right wing in the unsuccessful battle against Perseus. In B. C. 168 he was consul, and in the following year went to Macedonia, instead of proceeding to Cisalpine Gaul, which was his appointed province. (Liv. 45.17.)
