The Triumvirate's Last Co-Cooperation

The Triumvirate was renewed and it was agreed that Pompeian Crassus would again serve together as co-consuls for the year 55 BC. The three men also took the time to divvy up the Roman world between them. Caesar would have his proconsul ship of Gaul extended for another five years, Pompey would be appointed proconsul of Hispania and allowed to govern and absentia while Crassuswould receive the governorship of Syria. This would be the last cooperative venture between the three Triumvirates - Crassus soon lay dead in Syria after a humiliating defeat at the hands of the Parthians.
