Question 2 • IL-MS World History A

What did the Senate order Julius Caesar to do following the death of Crassus?

Answer
A
They ordered him to give up his military and return to Rome.
B
They ordered him to step down from power and run for election.
C
They ordered him to pledge loyalty to the newly chosen leader.
D
They ordered him to find a new member to serve on the triumvirate.

Explanation

After Crassus died, the First Triumvirate weakened, and Caesar’s political opponents in the Senate pressed him to give up his command and return to Rome. He was expected to relinquish his army before seeking another consulship. Choice A describes this order; the Senate did not ask him to replace Crassus on the triumvirate.
