88 BC was followed by three civil wars:

· Sulla's first civil war (88-87 BC) fought between Lucius Cornelius Sulla's supporters and Gaius Marius' forces. Sulla won.

· Sulla's second civil war (83-82 BC) fought between Sulla and Marius' supporters. Sulla won again.

· The Sertorian War (80-72 BC) fought between Rome (led by Sulla) and the provinces of Hispania under the leadership of Quintus Sertorius, a supporter of Gaius Marius. Sulla won.

In 88 BC Lucius Cornelius Sulla was elected as consul together with Quintus Pompeius Rufus. Sulla was a leader of the optimates, a political faction which supported the interests of the aristocracy. He was supported by the senate because it was concerned about the power of Gaius Marius who had been consul for a record 6 times. Moreover, Marius was a leading figure of the rival populares, a political faction which championed the cause of the poor.

As a consul, Sulla was given the command of the army for the First Mithridatic War against Mithridates VI, the king of Pontus (in northeastern Turkey). Marius allied with the plebeian tribune Publius Sulpicius Rufus to get the plebeian council to call for withdrawing Sulla's military command. Rufus also used the council to expel senators to deprive the senate of its quorum. Due to a senator-sponsored rebellion, violence broke out. This sparked Sulla's First Civil War 88-87 BC). Sulla marched on Rome and seized this. This was the first time that a Roman military commander had taken Rome by force. Rufus was betrayed by his slaves and was killed. Marius fled to Africa.

In 87 BC Sulla left Rome to fight the First Mithridatic War. Marius plotted to become consul again. the consul Cinna led a revolt and fought Gnaeus Octavius, the other consul for the year and leader for the forces of the opimates. Marius returned to Rome with an army he had raised in Africa.

The forces of Marius, Cinna and Quintus Sertorius (a hero of the Italian/social war) deposed Octavius and seized the city. Freedmen in Marius' army begun to kill Sulla's supporters until the more disciplined forces of Cinna and Sertorius put an end to this. Marius banned Sulla, had himself elected as commander in the east to take over in the Mithridatic War and had Cinna elected consul for 86 BC. However, Marius died two weeks later. This situation led to Sulla's Second Civil War (83-82 BC).

In 83 BC, having won the Mithridatic War, Sulla returned to Italy and planned to march on Rome again. He gathered many supporters and led his army towards Rome, while one of his supporter, Metellus, marched towards northern Italy. Historian calls Sulla's opponents in this war the Marians. They were led by the consuls of the year, Carbo and Gaius Marius the Younger, Marius' son. Sulla defeated the Marian forces in a battle and then besieged them at Praeneste (south of Rome). The Marians arranged killing of Sulla's supporters in Rome. Sulla marched on Rome and took it without resistance. He then marched to Umbria, in central Italy, where he won more battles. Meanwhile Metellus defeated the Marian forces at Placentia in northern Italy. There was a final showdown at Rome's Colline Gate, which Sulla won.

Sulla was appointed dictator. This was an extraordinary office of state which had extraordinary powers and was appointed in times of emergency by a senatorial decree which established the mandate of the dictator. The term of this office was normally 6 months, but Sulla was appointed for one year. His mandate was to make new laws and to reform the constitution. Some of his measures were designed to strengthen the power of the senate and the senators, the aristocracy and the conservative forces and to weaken the power of the plebeian tribunes, the representatives of the poor. He also persecuted his political opponents. He had an estimated 9,000 people executed or murdered and confiscated their property.

In 80 BC Quintus Sertorius started an eight-year long resistance campaign against the optimates in Spain which has been called by historians the Sertonian War (80-72 BC).

It was called the Babylonian Exile or the First Diaspora.

At school we were always told that the earliest civilization was that of Egypt, and that it just appeared out of nowhere about 3000 BC.

Since then, however, time has marched on. Today, because of newer archaeological discoveries, research, computers, electron microscope, DNA and MtDNA analysis, but especially because of the internet and the rapid distribution of knowledge to all by many different authorities, our view of early civilizations has changed somewhat.

The earliest developed area of the world was the 'Fertile Crescent' , (known as such because it was fertile land ), and the most-fertile part was the area that we know as Mesopotamia. This was the area that people and families gravitated to, and a country is just an enlarged group of families.

The earliest culture that we know of is that of Sumer, but don't take my word for it - check it out and follow it through.

Moreover , the first boundary which can be named a country was Iran and The first state consisting all of western Iran was founded by the Proto-Elamite with their capital at Susa & Anshan which lasted from around 3200 BC to 2700 BC, they were followed by Elam (2700 BC-550 BC) and Medes who created the first Iranian empire, which encompassed all of Iran and lasted from 728 to 550 BC, Cyrus The Great, founded the world's first superstate, stretching from Greece to India. The last reunification of Iran happened in 1501 AD by the Safavid dynasty. Iran was referred to in the West as Persia until March 21, 1935 when it was officially recognized as Iran which has been the local name. Iran has had roughly the same geographical boundaries since its inception and has been using Persian as the official language in addition to Iranian calendar.

Baghdad, Iraq

yes because it has not happened, and it probably wont ever happen. of course, the twilight zone (that old show) also had things that could happen on it, but it was considered science fiction.

Well. it could go one of 3 ways. with a noose, you could either get your neck snapped right away, or you could die slowly while suffocating (yes, that would hurt.) And if the rope is thing enough, you could also be decapitated.

No. The Hanging Gardens of Babylon have not been identified, archeologically, up to this point in time. (In ancient history, they were described as so beautiful that they were considered one of the Seven Wonders of the World.)

That's in the case no woman comes forward to care for the child so the child doesn't suffer until death.

There were 5 Amorite kings in Akkad. The 6th king brought the neighboring areas building the Babylon Empire. His name was Hammurabi. He is known for the code of laws.

The code of Hammurabi had a huge impact in modern governments because it was one of the first written documents that talked about government. It shaped many governments by giving them a outline for how to write the government out. Hammurabi made the laws to keep together his kingdom but what he did had such an importance on law making today.

30000 miles

because of nubia's location between Egypt and Central Africa it was a center for trade.

SIMILARITIES

-Both have an instruction for judges, police officers, and witnesses

-Both set regulations and establish wages and prices

-Both punished criminals

-Both had a certain set of right

Even dough there was about 1000 years between then; they were Babylonian kings and are the most notable in the history of Babylon. Hammurabi was notable because of the code of law and Nebuchadnezzar for the hanging gardens.

Babylon is located in central Mesopotamia (modern day Iraq). In between Sumer and Akkad to the south and north and on the east the tigris river and the west the Euphrates. There is fertile soil, lots of water and their staple crop is wheat. There are ziggurats, mud-brick houses, irrigation systems, farmland, marketplaces, sisterns and sillows. This was one of the first places where civilization was noticed.

Shake ur groove thang shake ur groove thank yeahyeah... show'm how we do it now.

what was the ethnicity of babylon

Hammurabi's code is often seen as a collection of laws, but it wasn't. It was a jurisdiction-collection, a collection of verdicts, judgements that Hammurabi had passed in cases brought before him. The intended function of these collected verdicts was to create a guideline for judges everywhere in the land when confronted with similar cases.

Babylon was a polytheistic culture, with a class of astronomer/priests. Public rituals as well as personal at home rituals honored deities on sacred days. Unlike Egypt, the ruler of Babylon was not considered to be an incarnation of a deity.
