In this episode, Gaius Marius goes from upstart commander to Third Founder of Rome.
Roman writer and historian Sallust said Marius possessed Virtus (“manliness, prowess, virtue” - but, was Marius ultimately a “good man”?
In part two of The Life of Gaius Marius, Marius captures Jugurtha, he enlists the help of a prophetess to annihilate an army of Teutones, and triumphs over the Cimbri at the Battle of Vercellae. And how he became six times Roman consul.
But in order to reach the top, Marius had to dispatch political enemies, and make alliances with some dubious characters. Was it worth it?
