Sulla

It was never much in excess of thirty, and in Sulla's time had dwindled to eighteen.

Sulla, throughout his whole life, was a consistent adherent of the extreme oligarchical party.

The legal changes made by Sulla were few, but all in favor of the aristocratic party.

Soon after his return Sulla was joined by many of the senatorial party, with large levies of soldiers.

The vengeance which Sulla took upon the Italians who had resisted him was even more terrible.
