Detailed explanation-1: -The First Triumvirate was an informal political alliance among three prominent politicians in the late Roman Republic : Gaius Julius Caesar, Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus and Marcus Licinius Crassus. The constitution of the Roman republic had many veto points.
Detailed explanation-2: -In 60 Crassus joined with Pompey and Caesar to form the so-called First Triumvirate. Crassus entered this informal coalition partly to effect passage of laws helpful to his business ventures in Asia. From 58 to 56 he supported efforts to neutralize Pompey’s power.
Detailed explanation-3: -The “First Triumvirate” of Pompey the Great. Help came only when Caesar returned from his governorship in Spain. Pompey, Crassus, and Caesar formed the unofficial and at first secret “First Triumvirate.” (This was not a legal position, and the term, although convenient, is modern.)
