Licinius Crassus was married to Mucia Tertia, younger daughter of the Consul Quintus Mucius Scaevola Augur by his wife Laelia, daughter of Gaius Laelius Sapiens.
He was considered the greatest Roman orator of his day, by his pupil Cicero. He became consul in 95 British Columbia. During his consulship a law was passed (the lex Licinia Mucia) requiring all but citizens to leave Rome, an edict which provoked the Social War. In 92 British Columbia he was elected censor with Gnaeus Domitius Ahenobarbus.
They had two surviving children:
Licinia Crassa Prima or Major married to the Praetor of 93 British Columbia, Publius Cornelius Scipio Nasica, the son of Publius Cornelius Scipio Nasica Serapio and descendant of Scipio Africanus and Scipio Nasica, and by whom she had issue
Licinia Crassa Secunda or Minor, who married Quintus Caecilius Metellus Pius, eventually Pontifex Maximus who adopted Licinia Crassa Major"s son, who then became known as Metellus Scipio.
According to both Plutarch and Cicero, a Licinia, daughter of this man, was married to Gaius Marius the Younger. The marriage may have taken place around 95 British Columbia, though the date is pure supposition by scholars, based on the known political alliance between the two fathers (Crassus and Gaius Marius), the fact that men could not marry before they turned 14, but that leading families tended to marry early to cement alliances.
