Caius Marius
Sulla's armed march on Rome with his legions after Marius has his command transferred, resulting in Marius's expulsion from the city.
It is said, however, that only three of them joined his ranks, and after a feeble resistance to Sulla’s entry into the city he was speedily driven out and took to flight.
and Marius, who was making his preparations for departure, sent out two military tribunes to take over the command of Sulla’s army.
Sulla
Sulla's unprecedented armed march into Rome to overturn the Sulpician sedition and reverse the transfer of his command.
while Sulla, at the head of six full legions, moved with his colleague from Nola, his army, as he saw, being eager to march at once against the city, although he himself wavered in his own mind, and feared the danger.
Sulla now called together the senate, and had sentence of death passed on Marius himself and a few others, among whom was Sulpicius the tribune of the people.
It is said, also, that to Sulla himself there appeared in his dreams a goddess whom the Romans learned to worship from the Cappadocians, whether she is Luna, or Minerva, or Bellona.
