  Faustus Cornelius Sulla Felix - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Faustus Cornelius Sulla Felix (22 - 62 AD) was one of the lesser known figures of the Julio-Claudian dynasty of ancient Rome.
His father was Faustus Cornelius Sulla Lucullus (suffect consul of 31 AD), a descendant of the Roman Dictator Lucius Cornelius Sulla.
Faustus was exiled in 59 and confined to Massilia (modern Marseille, France).

Sulla was born into an impoverished branch of the Cornelii gens, or family, of aristocratic patrician stock but without influence in the city.
Sulla was rumored to have been involved with prostitution as a youth, this is given further credence when he doesn't hide his lover Metrobius (a famous actor at the time) upon his retirement as the Dictator.
Meanwhile, Sulla defeated Mithridates in the East and in 86 BC captured Athens and then defeated Archelaus at the Chaeronea, (employing the first known use of strategic battlefield entrenchments, later copied by Julius Caesar) and again in 85 BC at the Orchomenus; battles that confimed his status as a general of the first rank.

But Sulla's love of pleasure did not absorb all his time, nor did it emasculate his mind; for no Roman during the latter days of the republic, with the exception of Julius Caesar, had a clearer judgment, a keener discrimination of character, or a firmer will.
The slender property of Sulla was increased by the liberality of his step-mother and of a courtezan named Nicopolis, both of whom left him all their fortune.
Sulla, doubtless, had already the consulship before his eyes, and thus early did he show that he possessed the great secret of a man's success in a free state, the art of winning the affections of his fellow-men.

In addition, she saw to it that Pompeius Magnus, the husband of Claudius' daughter Antonia by his previous marriage, was killed so that he could not be a rival to her son Britannicus.
Although Messalina should not be entirely exonerated of greed, lust and jealousy, she need not take responsibility for all of the political mischief that took place when she was Claudius' wife.
[[3]] Her age is estimated from the fact that a younger half-brother, Faustus Cornelius Sulla Felix, was old enough by AD 47 to marry Antonia, Claudius' daughter from his marriage to Aelia Paetina, and to be consul in 52.

In 46, Asinius Gallus, the grandson of Asinius Pollio, and Statilius Corvinus were exiled for a plot hatched with several of Claudius' own freedmen.
There is no evidence that the character of Claudius' policies and edicts changed with the rise and fall of the various freedmen, suggesting that he was firmly in control throughout.
Faustus Sulla, married to his daughter Antonia, was only descended from Octavia and Antony on one side — not close enough to the imperial family to prevent doubts (that didn't stop others from making him the object of a coup attempt against Nero a few years later).
