Ep. XIX - Silla in Oriente: la Battaglia di Orcomeno | IMPERIUM | Prof. Giovanni Brizzi

Lucius Cornelius Sulla prepares the conclusion of his war against the Pontic ruler: the capture of Athens and victory at the Battle of Orchomenus reveal him as a commander worthy, if not of Hannibal, then at least of Caesar and Alexander. Meanwhile, Rome's first great civil tragedy unfolds: the vengeance of Gaius Marius. Mutilated bodies dragged by hooks through the streets, severed heads served as macabre dishes, and ritual suicides characterize the final days of Rome under Arpinatus, immersed in a fog of blood in which he will end his days.
