Title: Exiled Gaius Marius Amid the Ruins of Carthage,88 BC
Caption: In 88 BC war broke out with Mithradates, and Sulla was appointed by the senate to the chief command. Marius then had the command transferred to himself. Sulla marched upon Rome and defeated Marius, who fled to the marshes of Minturnae. Sulla proclaimed that Marius, when captured, be put to death. Marius made his way to Carthage, but was forbidden to land, so he told the messenger to inform the governor that he had seen Marius sitting as a fugitive among the ruins of Carthage. Gaius Marius (157 BC - January 13, 86 BC) was a Roman general and statesman. He played a critical role in the destruction of the Roman Republic, and the birth of the Roman Empire. Plutarch's Lives for Boys and Girls, 1900 (cropped and cleaned).
