Gaius Aurelius Sulla Augustus (born Gaius Corellus Sulla on 13 September 165) was the Emperor of Rome from 6 July 180 until his death during a speech to the Senate for the new year of 228. Born of a poor family in Athens, he was orphaned at the age of seven but adopted by Marcus Aurelius the following year. His new father gave him a proper Roman upbringing, teaching him how to hunt and fight as well as instructing the boy on his beliefs as a Stoic (expanding on what Sulla had heard). However, when Sulla was only 14 years old, his father, the emperor, died an untimely death from the Antonine plague. As heir to his father's titles, Sulla was proclaimed Caesar with several attendants to assist him during his regency.

  • Gaius Aurelius Sulla Augustus (born Gaius Corellus Sulla on 13 September 165) was the Emperor of Rome from 6 July 180 until his death during a speech to the Senate for the new year of 228. Born of a poor family in Athens, he was orphaned at the age of seven but adopted by Marcus Aurelius the following year. His new father gave him a proper Roman upbringing, teaching him how to hunt and fight as well as instructing the boy on his beliefs as a Stoic (expanding on what Sulla had heard). However, when Sulla was only 14 years old, his father, the emperor, died an untimely death from the Antonine plague. As heir to his father's titles, Sulla was proclaimed Caesar with several attendants to assist him during his regency. At the tender age of 20, Sulla led his first army, taking several legions across the Rhine to pillage the unorganized land of Greater Germany. Following resounding successes against the Germans, he kept track of his veterans to employ those able soldiers in future conflicts. They proved essential to the almost one-sided counter-attack against Parthia and the brutal conquest of Caledonia in the north. These wars against Rome's three greatest enemies earned Sulla a place in history as one of the most skilled Roman commanders, a place he shares with names as illustrious as Scipio, Pompeius, Germanicus, and Agrippa.
