Lucius Cornelius Sulla Felix
Lucius Cornelius Sulla Felix stood out as a dominant Roman general and political force, his legacy linked to defending the Senate’s upper echelon and preserving established control. Emerging from a weakened segment of the esteemed Cornelian clan in 138 BC, he gained prominence through battlefield successes and astute alliances, personifying the ideals of the Optimates, those resolutely dedicated to the supremacy of the senatorial aristocracy.
