Crassus Dives?

[edit]

How/where is he known by the nomen "Dives"? Referring to my copy of Symes' The Augustan Aristocracy, he is only known as "Crassus Frugi". I'm baffled by this preferred form. It doesn't help that there are no sources given; the link to person.orange.fr is a dead link. - llywrch (talk) 01:22, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I just checked the Pauly-Wissowa article, & there is no mention there of "Dives" having ever been attached to his name. It's looking as if this was added either in error or as a hoax. -- llywrch (talk) 07:28, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
