A later encomium by Cassius Dio said of his death that: Gaius Correlus Sulla, son and heir of Marcus Aurelius, was recognized by the Senate as pontifex maximus and princeps civitatis on July 6 of 180, under the name Caesar Gaius Aurelius Antoninus Sulla Augustus. Contemporaries expected little of this new emperor, born of plebeian rank, yet by his death he would earn the cognomen Magnus (the Great). Ultimately, history regards him as one of the most prosperous of the Princepes Boni (a term coined by a historian of the 6th century in his legendary Romana Historia for the emperors during this productive period of the Principate).

  • A later encomium by Cassius Dio said of his death that: Gaius Correlus Sulla, son and heir of Marcus Aurelius, was recognized by the Senate as pontifex maximus and princeps civitatis on July 6 of 180, under the name Caesar Gaius Aurelius Antoninus Sulla Augustus. Contemporaries expected little of this new emperor, born of plebeian rank, yet by his death he would earn the cognomen Magnus (the Great). Ultimately, history regards him as one of the most prosperous of the Princepes Boni (a term coined by a historian of the 6th century in his legendary Romana Historia for the emperors during this productive period of the Principate). Following his senatorial salutation, Sulla did as was expected and ordered the generals on the frontier to continue to press the enemy in the war - that is, to block the Quadi and Marcomanni tribes from returning to the lowlands east of the Little Carpathians after their defeat by praetorian prefect Tarrutenius Paternus. This victory had marked a turning point in the Bellum Germanicum et Sarmaticum (Marcomannic Wars) and would allow Roman generals the logistical freedom to focus on the Iazygean tribes west of Dacia. However, the legions would continue this fight without the direction of a commander-in-chief - now merely a young boy.
