Jurist, statesman, consul 131 bce and Pontifex Maximus 132–130. He and his natural brother, P. Mucius Scaevola (cos. 133) were friendly to the Gracchi and opponents of Scipio Aemilianus (Cic. Rep . 1.31). Cicero ( De or . 1.170, 1.240, 2.13; Brut . 98), calls both brothers sapientissimi et clarissimi (most wise and renowned) and Crassus vir iuris peritissimus (a man most expert in law), an assessment repeated by Plutarch ( Ti. Gracch . 9.1), Quintilian (11.2.50), and Aulus Gellius (1.13.10, citing Mucianus’ contemporary Sempronius Asellio) who deems him a man enjoying five of the greatest blessings: exceeding wealth, celebrity, eloquence, most consulted for his legal expertise, and tenure of the Chief Priesthood.
