The Social War


Among Rome's Neighbours and Allies
A discontent continues to grow
They demand the rights of Roman citizens
But the Roman senate says "No"!

When their spokesman, Drusus the Tribune
suddenly suffers fatal harms
the Allies feel they have no choice
but to finally take up arms

Marius and Sulla lead Rome's forces
along with Pompeius and Crassus
Caesar and Rutilius are Rome's consuls
The war gets bloodier as time passes

Rome's two consuls both lose their lives
prompting the senate to offer the right
of citizenship to those of their neighbours
who desist from this terrible fight

One by one the rebels defect
over to join the Roman side
The Romans vanquish those that remain
their rebellion soon does subside
