Why did he hate Sulla and why, if he was such a great general, was he so rubbish at not being one?

Loved loved loved this episode almost as much as Commodus, Caligula and Caracalla. Joining the senate was the best thing I’ve ever done!

Great episode on Marius! I especially liked the reenactment of Marius' first full cabinet meeting. Something about it seemed familiar, but I can't put my finger on it. Definitely a stench of Opprobium Crazium.
