A great commander and ruthless politician, Sulla used violence to advance his career and his conservative agenda. Although he attempted to create a stable constitutional order, the Republic never recovered from his coup, civil war, and purges. Sulla held the office of consul twice and revived the dictatorship. A gifted general, he achieved successes in wars against foreign and domestic opponents.
