	Marius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Marius was a novus homo (a so-called "new man", without senatorial forebears) from the Italian countryside who came to prominence in Rome through military competence, and whom elements in the oligarchy had philosophical difficulties assimilating into the political system.
		The facts that Marius had connections with the nobility in Rome, that he ran for local office in Arpinum and that he had marriage relations with the local nobility in Arpinum all combine to indicate that he was born into a locally important family of equestrian status.
		Marius seems to have been able to get exactly what he wanted and it even seems that his support determined whom the People would elect as his colleagues (his choice was apparently determined on the basis of their malleability).

	GAIUS MARIUS - LoveToKnow Article on GAIUS MARIUS
		Marius, out of unpromising materials and a demoralized soldiery, organized a well-disciplined army, with which he inflicted on the invaders two decisive defeats, the first in 102 at Aquae Sextiae (Aix), 18 m.
		In 101 Marius was elected consul a fifth time (previously in 107, 104, 103, 102), hailed as the " saviour of his country," and honored with a triumph of unprecedented splendour.
		Marius, however, unlike Caesar, did not attempt to overturn the oligarchy by means of the army; he used rather such expedients as the constitution seemed to allow, though they had to be backed up by riot and violence.

	The Internet Classics Archive \| Caius Marius by Plutarch
		Marius came forth with glory to the people and confirmed his law, and was henceforth esteemed a man of undaunted courage and assurance, as well as a vigorous opposer of the senate in favour of the commons.
		Marius answered that the Romans never consulted their enemies when to fight, however, he would gratify the Cimbri so far; and so they fixed upon the third day after and for the place, the plain near Vercellae, which was convenient enough for the Roman horse, and afforded room for the enemy to display their numbers.
		Marius, in return for this piece of service, was forced to connive at Saturninus now proceeding to the very height of insolence and violence, and was, without knowing it, the instrument of mischief beyond endurance, the only course of which was through outrages and massacres to tyranny and the subversion of the government.

	Marius the Ancient
		Marius desired their bond to be permanent, but their happiness became short-lived when, only six months later, Santino's coven put a torch to Marius and captured Armand.
		Marius feels he is truly immortal, that he is the perfect guardian for Akasha and Enkil, and that his is now the "continual awareness." He is in love with humanity's progress, although he realises that human evolution away from belief in gods and superstitions has made him, as a vampire, obsolete.
		Marius joins those vampires who stand against Akasha and Lestat and their rampage of destruction, and uses his own belief in the need for human evolution to attempt to reason with Akasha.

	Gaius Marius (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Marius' new legions prefigured Caesar's troops crossing the Rubicon, the later Praetorian Guard who made and broke Emperors, and the eventual empowerment of the Roman legions to choose and control the autocrats of state.
		Marius altered the way that the pilum (the throwing spear of the common soldier) was fixed to the shaft; this caused the point to break off upon impact, which meant Rome's enemies could not return the spear against her legions.
		Marius turned against Saturninus in 99 and this led to rioting and, eventually, the murder of the Tribune and his supporters inside the Senate house, when opponents pelted the men to death with roof tiles.

		Marius[1] was born in Gunzenhausen in the territory of the Markgrafschaft of Ansbach (south Germany).

		In fact, when Marius became consul at the age of 50 he was only the same age as Sulla when he became consul, and few would accuse Sulla of a lack of political acumen.
		But Marius used his military success as one of the strongest weapons in his political armoury; in that sense his military ability should not be 'relegated' or overlooked, although it perhaps plays a lesser role than has previously been argued.
		Evans argues that Marius' use of Sulpicius was a return to his policy of 107 and even the law to give him a command against Mithridates was not unprecedented since it paralleled that of 107 giving him command against Jugurtha.

	The Life of Caius Marius
		Marius told them that he was waiting for the Gods to tell him the right time and place for him to win the battle.[31] So the enemy tried to attack Marius’ camp but failed.
		Marius barely escaped several times with his life during this flight,[50] and finally joined up with Cinna, one of the consuls of 87, who had been behaving like a dictator and was exiled by the other consul, Cnaeus Octavius, when Sulla was away fighting Mithridates.
		Marius had been the first in a long line of faction leaders, but he had also been, if not an innovator, at least a synthesizer of much-needed military reforms that also drew on the changing social aspects of Roman society.

		I guess you could make a case that it is Marius, and the chains are symbolic or some such, but I doubt it.
		Yes, on the book about Marius, with Lestat not in it at all (at least nothing more than passing storytelling), Lestat is on the cover.
		It says in The Vampire Armand (which I would wager is the time given the clothing), "His blonde hair was parted in the middle in a saintly fashion and combed richly down to his shoulders where it broke over his cloak in lustrious curls." So, no, it's not too long.
