At the time, when Caesar was in his teens, war was being waged both on the Italian peninsula and abroad, with domestic politics pitting the conservative, aristocratic <em>optimates</em> against the populist, reformist <em>populares</em>, and this tension ultimately escalated into an all-out war. One of the leading <em>populares</em> was Caesars uncle, Gaius Marius, a military visionary who had restructured the legions and extended the privileges of land ownership and citizenship to legionaries on condition of successful completion of a fixed term of service. In the late 2nd century B.C., Marius had waged a successful campaign against several Germanic tribes, and after earning eternal fame in the Eternal City, Marius was appointed a consul several times. In 88 B.C., he entered into conflict with his erstwhile protégé, the <em>optimate</em> Sulla, over command of the army to be dispatched against Mithridates VI of Pontus, a long-time enemy of Rome and its Greek allies.</p><p>Ironically, Mariuss reforms had made the legions fiercely loyal to their individual generals rather than the state, which allowed Sulla to march his army against Rome and force Marius into exile. With that, Romes first civil war was officially underway, but Sullas triumph proved short-lived. Just as Sulla departed for a campaign, Marius returned at the head of a scratch army of veterans and mercenaries, taking over the city and purging it of Sullas <em>optimate</em> supporters, and though Marius died in 86 B.C., his party remained in power. After Sulla finished mopping up the last scraps of resistance, he intended to take back Rome for himself at the head of his legions.</p>...7023841Sulla and Caesar: The History of the Roman Republics Final Dictators184184https://www.gandhi.com.mx/sulla-and-caesar--the-history-of-the-roman-republics-final-dictators-9798318046032/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/6983031/image.jpg?v=638775848445630000InStockMXN99999DIAudiolibro2025Inglés
