Paperback. Lucius Cornelius Sulla is one of the central figures of the late Roman Republic. Indeed, he is often considered a major catalyst in the death of the republican system. the ambitious general whose feud with a rival (Marius) led to his marching on Rome with an army at his back, leading to civil war and the terrible internecine bloodletting of the proscriptions. In these things, and in his appropriation of the title of dictator with absolute power, he set a dangerous precedent to be followed by Julius Caesar a generation later. Lynda Telford believes Sulla's portrayal as a monstrous, brutal tyrant is unjustified. While accepting that he was responsible for much bloodshed, she contends that he was no more brutal than many of his contemporaries who have received a kinder press. Moreover, even his harshest measures were motivated not by selfish ambition but by genuine desire to do what he believed best for Rome. The author believes the bias of the surviving sources, and modern biographers, has exaggerated the ill-feeling towards Sulla in his lifetime. After all, he voluntarily laid aside dictatorial power and enjoyed a peaceful retirement without fear of assassination. The contrast to Caesar is obvious. Lynda Telford gives a long overdue reappraisal of this significant personality, considering such factors as the effect of his disfiguring illness. The portrait that emerges is a subtle and nuanced one; her Sulla is very much a human, not a monster. AUTHOR: Lynda Telford makes a habit of fighting the corner of maligned historical figures, being a a committee member of the Yorkshire branch of the Richard III Society. She has written several articles on Roman and Medieval Yorkshire and leads guided tours of historical sites. She lives in Richmond, North Yorkshire. Reveals a bloody and turbulent period in Romes history. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Neuware - Der dämonische Diktator - die Sulla-Biographie von Karl ChristKarl Christs faszinierendes Portrait Sullas zeigt eine dämonische Persönlichkeit, die gleichermaßen von äußerster Risikobereitschaft, nüchternem politischen Kalkül und gnadenloser Härte im Umgang mit Feinden geprägt ist. Dem Autor gelingt es, die völlig unterschiedlichen, scheinbar einander widersprechenden Facetten im Leben des Protagonisten aufscheinen und dennoch, ohne zu harmonisieren, ein kohärentes Charakterbild entstehen zu lassen. Er zeigt jenen Sulla, der als tändelnder Aristokrat die zweifelhafte Gesellschaft von Schauspielern sucht, aber auch den mutigen Reiteroffizier, der seinem Gegenspieler Marius den Rang abläuft, und ebenso den Revolutionär, der mit seinen Truppen den Marsch auf Rom wagt. Dann wieder schildert er den zweckrational agierenden Diktator, der Rom kurzzeitig zu stabilisieren vermag, und schließlich jenen rätselhaften Mann, der auf dem Höhepunkt der Macht alle Ämter aufgibt, um unangefochten - wieder in der Gesellschaft der Gaukler - seine letzten Monate zu verbringen.Ein besonderes Verdienst dieses Buches liegt darin, die Wirkungsgeschichte der Hauptperson in einer kurzen tour d'horizon Revue passieren und dabei deutlich werden zu lassen, daß sie gleichermaßen für die Zeitgenossen wie für die nachfolgenden Generationen bis heute ein Faszinosum geblieben ist.

This book is a study of Sulla's policies in Italy and in the Greek East. Its main aim is to show how Sulla revived Rome's alliances with the local elites at a critical moment for the survival of her Mediterranean hegemony. The discussion calls into play a wide range of political, economic and religious issues, and the argument is developed from three complementary standpoints: role of elites, administration, and ideology. Sulla, the Elites and the Empire deals with both the impact of a prominent individual and the impact of the Roman empire. It sets outs to offer a new understanding of Sulla and his age and, more generally, to contribute to the understanding of the late Roman Republic.

By the early first century BC, the Roman Republic had already carved itself a massive empire and was easily the most powerful state in the Mediterranean. Roman armies had marched victoriously over enemies far and wide, but the Roman heartland was soon to feel the tramp of armies on campaign as the Republic was convulsed by civil war and rival warlords vied for supremacy, sounding the first death knell of the Republican system. At the center of the conflict was the rivalry between Marius, victor of the Jugurthine and Northern wars, and his former subordinate, Sulla. But, as Gareth Sampson points out in this new analysis, the situation was much more complex than the traditional view portrays it and the scope of the First Civil War both wider and longer. This narrative and analysis of a critical and bloody period in Roman history will make an ideal sequel to the author's Crisis of Rome (and a prequel to his first book, The Defeat of Rome).
