Pompey

Pompey was an ally of Sulla during his Second March on Rome, a man with exceptional military talent, which he used when he was sent by Sulla (while he was dictator) to go remove sources of rebellious discontent (Marius' supporters), to promote himself and his "partner" Crassus to the office of consul in 70BC, despite his not being of age.

These two did not get along very well, both were intent on their own self-glorification rather than the consular tradition of concordia.


 * they undid Sullan legislation preventing equestrians from being on juries (now 2/3rds of juries would be made up of equestrians)


 * they staged a public reconciliation for Sulla's worried faction; people were worried of their enmity
