Publius Cornelius Sulla, Consul-Elect 65 BCE |
|
The nephew of the dictator, Publius Sulla was destined for greatness until a conviction for electoral bribery ended his career right before he was about to enter his political prime. Never restored to the Senate, the wealthy and well-connected Publius Sulla remained a power player among the Roman elite. In 49 BCE, the lifelong optimate shocked the world by siding with Caesar and fighting by his side in the life-or-death struggles against his brother-in-law Pompey at Dyrrachium and Pharsalus.
