to one man: Julius Caesar. However, a figure that tends to be overlooked in popular history held the consulship over fifty years prior to the Republic’s inevitable fall was named Gaius Marius. Coming from an obscure Volscian town in the territory of Arpinum, sixty miles south-east of Rome, Plutarch wrote of Marius coming from poor origins and rising to the consulship as an archetypal ‘rags to riches’ story. This is nothing more than dramatic flair, since in reality he came from a good municipal family

about a number of important changes for the Roman army. Most notably, the reforms of Gaius Marius and the aftereffects of both the Social and Civil Wars altered the Roman army as a whole. Bringing about both continuity and change, these events would help to shape the nature, composition and character of the army of the Late Republic period and beyond.

The reason that she doesn’t understand it is because She’s been in a convent, after all, and no one has ever spoken to her about romance or anything. Cosette has become beautiful enough to attract the attention of boys like Marius, but she’s so naïve that she has no clue what those funny feelings mean. Cosette didn’t know what love was. She had never heard the word uttered in its earthly sense. (Hugo 254) She has never heard of the word love before, she doesn’t know what it

As a young adult, he didn’t take anything serious and was known to hang out with actors or comedians and share their lifestyle (176). It wasn’t until he was appointed quaestor in Marius’ first consulship to make war in Africa on Jugurtha, that Sulla experienced his first government

This system was threatened by the "ideology of novitas" which people achieved glory not from there illustrious family history, but through merit. Cato the Elder and Gaius Marius were not born of noble stock and thus represent two of the best examples of "novus homo" in action. The Roman Republic 's system was heavily stacked against "a novus homo" from the period of 200BC-100BC only 29 Consuls were of Plebeian background

The hypothesis of this report is that the military reforms instituted by Gaius Marius ultimately paved the way for the fall of the Roman Republic. The reforms instituted by Marius were designed as a way to strengthen the Republic by professionalizing the Roman military, but instead resulted in long term political consequences that contributed to the decline of the Republic and the creation of the Empire.

I chose Eponine Thenardier which is Mr. Thenardier and Mrs. Thenardier’ s daughter.

All that changed when a couple of girls from her job announced

he told his parents this story, and they were quite thrilled to see Jacques so excited about learning this. A few days later at dinner, “About 40,000 people were executed.” stated Jaques pa. “40,000 people were executed? What people? Why?” asked Jacquel curiously, as he walked into the kitchen. Jacques pa didn’t know Jacques had been standing there. He told Jacquel, “40,000 people were executed during the Reign of Terror.” Jacquel had no idea what the Reign of Terror was, so he was just about to

Marius, a Romanian 8 year old boy, lived a life just as every other kid his age. He attended school, played with his friends and his dog, and helped his family with chores. Once the accident occurred, life changed for Marius although he was always positive during his recovery process. Both of Marius’s parents died during the accident, however, he still had a large support system. This support came from both Marius’s older sister and brother who were not home at the time of the accident. Also, the
