In 88 BC, at the age of fifty, he was elected consul together with Q. Pompeius Rufus and was entrusted with the command of operations against Mithridates VI, king of Pontus. Starting from Phrygia and Mysia, Mithridates also succeeded in subjugating Lycia, Pamphylia, and Ionia. These events had prompted part of the province of Achaea and Athens to rebel against Roman rule. After capturing and killing Manius Aquilius, the Roman general in charge of the legions in that area, the Roman Senate declared war on him. Sulla arrived in Greece and sacked rebellious Athens, then won two important victories against Mithridates at Chaeronea and Orchomenus. Meanwhile, in Rome, an alliance between the equites and the plebeians brought Marius to a position of command and started a civil war. Marius wanted to command the army against Mithridates and convinced the Senate to entrust him with the operation. Sulla then marched on Rome with six legions, violating the sacred boundary of the pomerium, and forced Marius and his followers to flee to Africa. Upon the death of Marius and Cinna, a second, even bloodier civil war broke out against the populares and the Italic peoples. Sulla eventually managed to enter Rome and severely punished his opponents and their families. He was elected dictator in 82, when this coin was struck, which shows the celebration of his triumph.

According to legend, among the many problems faced by the Romans was a shortage of women. Therefore, in order to ensure the future of the Roman race, various alliances were formed with the aim of finding a way to bring women from neighboring populations to Rome. One of the populations involved was that of the Sabines, who rejected the Roman proposal. Romulus and his companions then took advantage of the games in honor of the god Consus to invite the Sabines and kidnap the women, thus starting the war. But faced with the fact that their Sabine relatives and those who had meanwhile become their Roman husbands could be killed in battle, the women began to beg for an end to the massacre. As a result, what became known as the Rape of the Sabine Women led to a situation of peace and prosperity for the two peoples. Condition: Good fine.Weight: 3.67 g. Diameter: 20 mm. Estimate: € 50
