Description
Lucius Cornelius Sulla: A Reconsideration of a Controversial Figure Sulla's legacy as a ruthless dictator has been cemented in history, but Lynda Telford challenges this narrative. By examining the sources and motivations behind his actions, she presents a nuanced portrait of a complex individual. Telford argues that Sulla's reputation as a brutal tyrant is overstated, and that his contemporaries viewed him more favorably than is often claimed. She also explores the impact of his debilitating illness on his decision-making and the consequences of his rule. This book offers a fresh perspective on one of ancient Rome's most significant figures, revealing a Sulla who was driven by a desire to serve Rome, rather than personal ambition.
