Events
Politics and world events
Gaius Marius ( Munich Glyptothek )
- Gaius Marius becomes consul of the Roman Empire for the sixth time in a row . He takes over the office together with Lucius Valerius Flaccus . The tribune of the people Lucius Appuleius Saturninus , a political friend of Marius, enforces laws on new land distributions to veterans and other popular-friendly regulations against the resistance of the Senate . Saturninus is a representative of the Popularen , a direction within the Roman leadership elite , which, in the tradition of the Gracchus brothers, tries to avoid the Senate in politics with the support of the people. Opposite them are the optimates , who want to maintain the traditional supremacy of the council of elders. When Saturninus tries to have one of his allies elected consul and has a competitor killed in the process, the Senate declares a state of emergency .
- Gaius Marius, who has previously cooperated politically with Saturninus, now sees himself as the incumbent consul being forced to take violent action against his ally. Saturninus and many of his followers are killed in the fighting.
