This would not be the last time he would meet Mithridates in battle. Soon Sulla and Marius again had to forget there many differences to defend Rome against Allied Italian forces who had declared war on Rome. They had set up their own government and were preparing to become an independent nation. This war was known as the Social War

One might reflect of the comparisons to be found between Gaius Marius and Cato the Elder. In this essay, we will be looking at the similarities and differences between two of Rome’s great men, who started from nothing and both becoming “Novus homo”. Both men came from similar back grounds, but their opinions differed considerably, but at the heart of each men, therein laid the same goal, to better Rome and build themselves up to the level of novus homo, in which both men accomplished this in their

Another conflict is that Percy has a dilemma because his memories were

She moved steadily in the direction of the designated cookie drop-off. When she finally got to the changing room, only a few other girls had arrived.
