- Connections, Marius marrying his Aunt - family ties, Caesar then
reinstated statues of Marius after Sulla, Daughter married
Pompey - seal connections within Triumphriate. Money, puts on
massive games as Aedile - 300 pairs of gladiators in silver

- Lived 100 years after, objective, access to range
of sources (Lycurgus consults 50 authors),
primary sources - Sulla's memoirs, removed from
emotional time, Roman - knew how system
worked, set template may force people to fit,
show cultural similarity of Rome/Greece - justifies
own conversion to Rome, time distant, focusses
on facts not gossip like Suetonius, will say if
unsure - Lycurus, short serious biographies,
embellishes with anecdotes to give a character
sketch.
- Life of Pompey
- Appian
- Civil Wars
- Moral decline of Rome since 146BC, describes
Catiline as evil, high level of support but easy eventual
defeat - "design of a madman", little coverage of
Conspiracy suggesting little importance/threat but
moderate interest, corroborates with much of sallust.
- Access to sources - cites them
(proper historian), citizen of Rome -
lived in Roman Egypt, factual style,
epic history of Rome, Catiline
Conspiracy event of interest but not
massive deal - small coverage
provides context, good Hindsight.

- Suetonius writes 100 years after - hindsight, objectivity, less likely
to promote individuals, broadly corroborates with Plutarch life of
Caesar, Director of Imperial archives, Writes under Emperors -
censorship? Set formula of biographies - exclude events - similar to
Arbituary - character centric, inflation of importance unlike Cassius
Dio who gives perspective. Reports rumour/gossip/sex lives of the
Emperors.

the system: use of filibuster to prevent the senate

Cisalpine gaul and so would be prosecuted if not in
office/out of Rome.
