The Pontic king Mithradates VI slaughtered 80,000 Roman and Italian residents of Asia in a single night. In response, the Senate gave command to the consul Lucius Cornelius Sulla to stem the Pontic tide and punish its king. Marian forces usurped the Senate and awarded command to Gaius Marius, but Sulla�s legions remained loyal to him and he forced Marius out of Rome. In the meantime, Mithradates had seized Asia Minor, while Pontic forces under general Archelaus occupied Greece, where Archelaus set up the philosopher and Pontic king�s friend Aristion as tyrant in Athens. Sulla headed east in 87 BC launching the First Mithradatic War. Landing in Epiros, Sulla marched on Athens, putting it to a siege. On the Kalends of March, 86 BC, Sulla captured the city, meting out a harsh punishment. In Boeotia, Sulla met and defeated Archelaus at the Battles of Chaeronea and Orchomenus, and Greece was fully restored to Roman rule. Estimated Value $1,500-UP. View details and enlarged photo	Unsold
