"Sulla: The Ruthless Dictator Who Proscribes His Foes" In the annals of ancient Rome, one name stands out for its sheer brutality and thirst for power - Sulla. This formidable figure, depicted in a head statue dating back to around 20 BC, was known for his iron-fisted rule and merciless treatment of his enemies. One engraving portrays Sulla's close ally Marcus Crassus, highlighting the influential network that supported his rise to power. Another scene depicts Marius receiving the severed head of Antonius, showcasing the violent nature of Roman politics during this era. Sulla's cunning diplomacy is captured in an engraving depicting his meeting with Bocchus. Known for his strategic alliances and manipulation tactics, Sulla skillfully navigated through treacherous political waters to solidify his authority. Amidst these tales of bloodshed and political maneuvering, nature finds its place as well. Depictions of French Honeysuckle, Common Sainfoin, Feather Geraniums alongside Jerusalem Oak remind us that life continued amidst the chaos wrought by Sulla's reign. The rivalry between Marius and Sulla takes center stage in another engraving. These two titans clashed repeatedly over control of Rome but ultimately it was Sulla who emerged victorious with a firm grip on power. The theatrical world also embraced the story of this infamous dictator. Talma portrayed Regulus in Sylla at the Theatre while Mlle Duchesnois embodied Valerie in Jouy's rendition - both performances capturing the intrigue and drama surrounding this controversial historical figure. However, even dictators must eventually face their downfall. An engraving shows Sulla resigning as Dictator in 81 BC after achieving what few could have imagined possible - complete dominance over Rome itself. Yet it all began with a triumphant entry into Rome accompanied by his loyal army; an image forever etched into history as a testament to Sulla's military prowess and determination.
