Lucius Cornelius Sula.

 Lucius Cornelius Sula Lucius Cornelius Sulla (138-78 BC) Lucius Cornelius Sulla was born into a prestigious family, although not rich. He stood out in the war (91 to 89 BC) during the alliance. In 88 BC, Mitridates, the king of Pontos, invaded the Asian city of Rome. It is estimated that 80,000 Roman and Italian people lived here, and Mitridates slaughtered them. The Senate made Sulah, who became a consul, conquer Mitridates. However, the hominem Sulpicius Lupus demanded that Marius take command. The commoners' association agreed to his proposal, but Sula was not an easy person. He led six legions to Rome and forced them to overturn the decision. This has become a typical Sulla method.   Sula, who finished the war well with Mitridates, returned to Italy. Except for the command of the war-trained army, he had no public office. Sula didn't wait for others to take office with her. He simply marched into Rome and forcibly obtained it. Consul Gnaius Papyrus Carbo and 마리 마리 Marius were unable to raise a powerful army to stop Sula. Thus, Sulah gained power. He did not gain power through elections, but became a dictator. Dictators were government posts that were temporarily established only during military crises under the Roman Constitution.   He has now introduced a policy called 'purge'. In other words, it refers to the killing father with the names of those he considered undesirable. Those who captured or killed them were rewarded. It was natural that Sula used this method rather than searching for criminals to remove her silence. It is estimated that 40 senators and 1,600 knights died in the whirlpool of this terrible first purge.   Without doubt, Sula was a character like Stallin, Mussolini, and Hitler. He enjoyed gathering people to speak brilliantly or threatening or frightening his audience as well as those he claimed to be enemies.  However, dictators like Sulla do not stop slaughtering until all names are erased in the killing register. Instead, he only began adding new names to the people who had become 'enemies of the country'. There was no safe place for those who were once on the list of murders. Even those who fled to the temple were killed. Some turned themselves in before they were caught, but they were also slaughtered. Others became victims of the crowd and were hanged by bloodthirsty crowds. Those who were confiscated or deported out of the city of Rome were the lucky ones among those who caused Sulah's anger. And those who barely escaped also tracked them overseas with complex intelligence networks. Sula was not just remembered as a pushover. He also used his position to reform the Constitution. Strangely for a person who ignored the will of the Senate and killed an unprecedented number of people, he did a lot to restore the Senate's authority. Since the Gracus brothers' conflict and their use of the Civil Assembly to promote reform, the Senate has now been reaffirmed as the best political body and has gained power to prevent the exercise of veto power by other civil councils. The power created by the hominid was virtually abolished. This is because they no longer had the power to oppose the Senate. The number of seats in the Senate has doubled. Many knights and political officials from other cities became senators.   In addition, he created a new law so that at least those who have served as finance officers or higher could become senators. This was to keep the Senate a group with deep political and administrative experience. In addition, to prevent people like Gracus from appearing, Sula required a 10-year grace period for public officials to take office. In addition, to prevent those who gain power rapidly, such as the Gracus brothers, he gave a two-year grace period when a public official was promoted to a higher position. Of course, these restrictions intensify the power struggle among the ambitious restraint of influential families. Sula also carried out judicial reform. A new court was created according to certain types of crimes. And his reform stands out in the process of civil and criminal trials. As a result, the Senate gains strong authority again. This is because Sula's reform allowed only older lawmakers to become judges. Unusually for a dictator, Sula stepped down from politics in 79 BC. He spent the rest of his life writing memoirs in a rural mansion until he died of old age.
