🚩 By 83 BC, the Roman Republic still stands, but only on paper. Laws remain. Magistrates are elected. Yet power now belongs to whoever commands legions willing to march against their own countrymen.

Sulla returned to Italy from the East, but this time without office, without sanction, and officially declared an enemy of the state. His political allies were killed or exiled. His laws undone. The city of Rome became a place of political vengeance.

But Sulla did not return alone. He landed in Italy with veterans; men shaped by the Social War and hardened by years of campaigning against Mithridates. This was not a citizen militia. It was a professional army bound by loyalty, reward, and shared survival. And now he is marching on Rome itself...
