	Gaius Calpurnius Piso Crassus Frugi Licinianus Gaius Calpurnius Piso Crassus Frugi Licinianus (died 118) was a Roman senator who lived in the 1st and 2nd centuries. He served as suffect consul for the ''nundinium'' January to April 87, replacing the emperor Domitian. Crassus is best known for being suspected of plotting against the emperor Nerva, as a result of which he spent much of the rest of his life exiled from Rome to various locations. Crassus Frugi came from an old consular Republican family. He could also trace his ancestry to the ''triumvir'' Marcus Licinius Crassus, and through an adoption of one of the triumvir's descendants was also a member of the ''gens'' Calpurnii; his ancestors included a number of men who had been consuls. Also Libo Rupilius Frugi, consul ''suffectus'' in 88, was his brother.Vasily Rudich, ''Political Dissidence Under Nero: The Price of Dissimulation'', RoutledgeBrian W.
