what did he want?
>>
>>1416475
A military victory to boost his popularity in the Senate. The Roman Republican government valued civil service and military glory from their magistrates, and Crassus lacked the military record of his contemporary, Pompey.

Crassus had previously won victories at the Colline Gate and against Spartacus, but they were overshadowed by Sulla and Pompey, respectively.

Also he wanted a military victory because of his ego and respect. It had been Crassus who defeated Spartacus but Pompey got all the credit by making a spectacle of the last few thousand. He felt he deserved more respect
