I’m ashamed to admit that in my head, the chief reason for why I can remember that “Crassus = rich” is because of Francis Ford Coppola’s 2024 film Megalopolis, which has a character based on Crassus and has the same family name. The film is… an experience IMO, and was a major flop at the box office.
The other memorable name from that film – entirely tangential to this community – was the character Wow Platinum. It’s a bizarre film.
My friends and I spent an entire night dissecting the film’s summary and laughing at it. It really makes no sense at all, and I suspect that watching it wouldn’t change my opinion on it.

I can only keep them straight from reading the Cicero trilogy. (historical fiction).
