G-Manicus Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Anyone have any recommendations for a good biography on Gaius Marius? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Manicus Posted April 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 ... or books about Marius v. Sulla would fit the bill as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primus Pilus Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 I can't say that I've ever read a modern biography of Marius. However, while obviously focused on the Sullan perspective Keaveney's Sulla: The Last Republican is an excellent read. I also stumbled across this while getting the Keaveney link: The Gracchi, Marius and Sulla. I hadn't even heard of it before, but I may pick it up myself.

Gaius Paulinus Maximus Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 I can't say that I've ever read a modern biography of Marius. However, while obviously focused on the Sullan perspective Keaveney's Sulla: The Last Republican is an excellent read. I also stumbled across this while getting the Keaveney link: The Gracchi, Marius and Sulla. I hadn't even heard of it before, but I may pick it up myself. I've just finished The Gracchi, Marius and Sulla by A.H. Beesley, it's quite an interesting read and one of the few books dedicated to these great men of the Republic, so for that alone it's worth buying.
