Sulla is one of the most controversial figures of the Roman
Republic. A harsh military leader devoted to the idea of Rome's
destiny, he has often been portrayed as simply a tyrant or despot.
Arthur Keaveney's biography, first published more than twenty years
ago, overturned that view in favour of a more complex portrait of a
man obsessed with the belief that he was the recipient of divine
favour - Sulla Felix. Sulla rose from poverty and obscurity to
become the master of the Roman world. He was not a crude forerunner
of the emperors but a statesman who had long pondered the ills that
beset Rome. His dictatorship was dedicated to bringing in laws for
the better ordering of the Republic. Despite his achievements and
his integrity, Sulla's constitution did not last and was swept away
within a generation. In this second edition of Keaveney's
biography, the text has been completely rewritten and the findings
of two decades of scholarship have been fully integrated. Written
in a lively and entertaining style, designed to satisfy scholars as
well as to inform students, the book introduces this pivotal figure
of the outgoing republic to a new generation of readers.
