Explanation: 

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: -The First Triumvirate of ancient Rome was an uneasy alliance between the three titans Julius Caesar, Pompey, and Crassus which, from 60 BCE until 53 BCE, dominated the politics of the Roman Republic.

Detailed explanation-3: -In 65 Crassus served as censor. In 60 Crassus joined with Pompey and Caesar to form the so-called First Triumvirate.
