	Lucius Cornelius Sulla - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sulla was born into an impoverished branch of the Cornelii gens, or family, of aristocratic patrician stock but without influence in the city.
		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.

	Lucius Cornelius Sulla, 138-78 BC (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Sulla was assigned the province of Cilicia pro consule and was instrumental in displaying Rome’s power to the eastern provinces, including Parthia; the ambassadors of the distant kingdom, hitherto largely unknown to Rome, sent their ambassadors to meet the tough young politician.
		Sulla’s aim was simple; he believed he knew how to prevent the kind of political infighting, which included demagogue Tribunes playing on the unemployed mob, that had so marred the last fifty years of Rome's political history, dating back to the turbulence of the Gracchi.
		Sulla did succeed, ironically, in giving Rome a horror of civil war that echoes in Cicero’s denunciations of Cataline a generation later, although that horror would be repeated within a generation of Sulla's death.

		Sulla’s primary aim was to bring back to Rome the Optimate way of life with the Senate at the heart of government, and during his career he took every measure to ensure this.
		Sulla created a legislative programme making himself dictator because both the consuls were dead and there was a sheer lack of members in the senate with only 3 ex-consuls still alive.
		Sulla increased the number of people in the Senate to about 600, he did this because he felt that if he increased the numbers, then there would be less chance of any individuals becoming too powerful, but mainly because he introduced a new legal system and needed more jurors.

	Hampden Latin
		Sulla as a man, as we have seen, was a mass of contradictions: happy then sad, passive then domineering.
		Sulla's reforms were much needed in Rome to stabilize it for the next thirty years, until the next generation of leaders would rise up, abuse the systems of the Republic for their own personal gain, and then destroy the very means which helped them gain power.
		Sulla, as traditional as he was, also did one of the more nontraditional acts, marching on Rome, and this example would be followed up by Julius Caesar 30 years later with his Gallic legions, loyal only to him and not to the idea of the Roman republic.
