Lucius Cornelius Sylla Felix... one chapter I hate to describe... the massacres he had done throughout Italy...Sylla was the first man to use the army to establish a personal autocracy at Rome. He used his power to re-establish the supremacy of Senate in the Roman state and to carry out other reforms. In 79 BC he suddenly resigned... it is clear that he was blood thirsty... and the hunger for domination... but all that he realised was to enstore chaos and blood-scenes... as one good man said: "To Tiber with Sylla"
