General expectation would have pointed to Scipio Aemilianus, the
conqueror of Numantia and Carthage, and the foremost man at Rome.
He was well-meaning and more than ordinarily able, strict and
austere as a general, and as a citizen uniting Greek culture with
the old Roman simplicity of life. He was full of scorn of the
rabble, and did not scruple to express it. 'Silence, ' he cried,
when he was hissed for what he said about his brother-in-law's
death, 'you step-children of Italy ' and when this enraged them
still more, he went on: 'Do you think I shall fear you whom I
brought to Italy in fetters now that you are loose?

Gracchi Marius was a Roman general. Marius employed his soldiers to
defeat an invasion by the Germanic Climbri and Teutons. His
political influence and military leadership allowed him to obtain
many successive terms as consul. Sulla was a subordinate who
contested against Marius for supreme power. Sulla seized power and
marched to the east with his soldiers. Marius himself launched a
coup in Sulla's absence and put to death some of his enemies. When
Sulla returned with his army he became dictator and a reign of
terror followed. Sulla stripped people of their power and made the
senators powerful authorities over the courts.
