How Caesar Formed the First Triumvirate

Caesar successfully formed the first triumvirate by strategically allying with Crassus and Pompey, leveraging their strengths - money, soldiers, and popularity, respectively. Each member had specific desires: land reform for Pompey, tax farmers reform for Crassus, and citizenship extension for Caesar. Caesar simplified the negotiation process by addressing these individual needs, showcasing his deal-making prowess. By uniting these factions and securing their support, he became console, leading to the publication of a daily newspaper to keep the Senate's dealings transparent.
