That sounds like he literally owned the fire department? It was just made up of slaves.
Otherwise I really found what you said very interesting!
- thaumasiotes 8y agoA fire department is a service that will put out fires for the public. Crassus only put out fires on his own property. Rome didn't have a fire department. Firefighting was expected to occur on a volunteer, as-needed basis.
