The Rise of Sulla


Now, with the danger past
Marius encounters strife
with Rome's ruling class
He returns to private life

In the succeding years
another man achieves fame
Lucius Cornelius Sulla
a patrician by name

Sulla served under Marius
in the Numidean lands
He brought the Numidean King
into Roman hands

Sulla performs brave feats
fighting against the Cimbri
He impresses Metellus
Marius' greatest enemy

Marius and Sulla both
into ruling class families wed
Sulla takes Metellus daughter
in to his marriage bed

Marius marries Julia
of the patrician Caesar clan
her nephew shall one day
become an important man
