'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.
