Jon Voight won for his supporting role in the movie as Hamilton Crassus III — a tie with his performances in three other films.

“If we can get to Kashgar,” said Samir, “I have friends who can give us stock on loan. We’ll be richer than Crassus!”

The other two volumes are more surprising: James Romm’s “Demetrius: Sacker of Cities” tracks the exploits of the most ambitious of Alexander the Great’s successors, while Peter Stothard’s “Crassus: The First Tycoon” recounts the career and dismal end of the richest man in Rome.

Klopp completed what may be soccer’s unlikeliest triumvirate by offering his backing to the Manchester United manager Ole-Gunnar Solskjaer — very much the Crassus in this story — in his complaint over the Premier League’s television scheduling: United was forced to play in the early slot on Saturday, despite having a Champions League engagement in Turkey last Wednesday.
