>in praetoriō Societātis Potentium, in Aeyptō, 80 CE<

"The struggle between the optimatēs and the popularēs was at full tilt with Marius and Sulla, was it not? Both men paved the way for the Societās Potentium to take advantage of the situation.

Sulla proved how beneficial it is to consolidate power into the hands of a few.
