Lucius Cornellius Sulla (68 posts)

Historical Thread
Sulla (138-78 BC) was the first general to march on Rome with an army demanding ultimate power. Like Caesar, he was a famous general and bitter enemy of his former mentor, Gaius Marius. Sulla's grab for power and the proscriptions he instituted in becoming dictator of Rome almost led to the death of the young Julius Caesar and strongly influenced Caesar's later career.
