How did Sulla turn what he had learned from Marius against him?

What Sulla learned from Gaius Marius were military skills. Sulla served under Marius' generalship during his early military career. Sulla later turned against Marius and fought a civil war (Sulla's first civil war, 88-87 BC) against him and one (Sulla's second civil war, 82-81 BC) against Marius' supporters after Marius' death. Sulla was victorious partly due to loyalty of his legions and partly because he was a great general. Sulla's conflicts with Marius were due partly to personal rivalry and partly to political differences. In 88 BC Sulla was given the command for the First Mithridatic War, but Marius fancied commanding the troops in this war and plotted to have this command transferred to himself. Sulla marched on Rome with his troops, secured his command and left for the front of the war. Sulla belonged to the optimates, a conservative political faction which supported tradition and the interests of the aristocracy. Marius belonged to the populares, a political faction which supported reform in favour of the plight of the poor and opposed the optimantes. Marius used the support of the Populares to plot against Sulla and pursued policies which Sulla strongly opposed.


What were the major changes to the roman political empire?

every thing was a turning point to an extent. However some major turning points in the history of Rome were the founding of the city, the ousting of the kings and the formation of the republic, the assassination of Caesar, the battle of Actium, and most importantly the assassination of Caligula. This killing gave the praetorian guard a power that had repercussions down to the latter part of the empire.

Why was Cleopatra respected?

Cleopatra was not respected until after her death. By committing suicide she gained stature in Roman eyes. However during her lifetime she was reviled and hated. True this was in part due to Octavian's propaganda, but this was only at Rome. In Cleo's part of the world she was also hated, due in a large part to her feud with Herod and her greed for more territory. The entire business of "poor Cleopatra, a woman ruling in a man's world" is present day thinking and a lot of present day revision of history.

Was Gaius Marius murdered?

According to most historians, Marius died of natural causes in 86 BCE. Arguments to the counter however involve precedence. Like Gaius Marius, both Gaius Gracchus and his brother Tiberius Gracchus supported land reforms that sought to redistribute land holdings (at that time, the only commodity that held any sustained economic value and thus wealth) among the landless and poor, especially to the common legionaries that fought during the Punic Wars and the later wars against the Germanic tribes. Tiberius was murdered by the chief priest of the Roman Senate (133 BCE) and his brother was killed in 121 BCE by order of the Senate. Gaius Marius' death occurred in 86 BCE, right in the middle of civil war. Some argue he may have been poisoned while he occupied the city of Rome to make it look like a natural death. But lack of evidence states that no, Marius was not murdered.


Why did gaius gracchus take away land?

Both Tiberius and Gaius Gracchus wanted to effect a land redistribution to give land to the landless poor.


What was an example of an armed conflict between the Roman generals who supported the plebeians and those who were backed by patricians and senators?

Sulla's First Civil War (88--87 BC) and Sulla's Second Civil War (82--81 BC) against Gaius Marius and Great Roman Civil War, also known as Caesar's Civil War, (49--45 BC) between Caesar and the forces of the senate are examples of civil wars between optimate and popularis forces. The optimates was a political faction which represented the interests of the patrician aristocracy and was opposed to reforms to help the poor. The popularis was a political faction which championed the cause of the poor and wanted reforms which helped the poor. Sulla was an optimate leader. Gaius Marius and Julius Caesar were popularis leaders.
