Lucius Cornelius Sulla
Jul 12, 2004
The next great ‘imperator’ to rule Rome after Gaius Marius was Lucius Cornelius Sulla.
Thanks to Sulla?s own personal memoirs, which have been lost to history, though preserved through the works of others, such as Plutarch, we actually know a great deal about him and the time period. Sulla was cunning and ruthless when necessary, but a brilliant politician and formidable commander as well. While he didn?t necessarily begin the ?Fall of the Republic?, the activities of Sulla were definitely a major contribution….
