Considering:<br>
1) victory in the "difficult" slippery war against Jugurtha<br>
2) two very difficult! hard victories against Cimbri and Teutons,<br>
all with an army that needed real reorganization and effective leadership, I think Marius was, to say the least, talented!<br>
Marius and Sulla certainly contributed in fundamental ways to preparing the stage for Ceasar.<br>
<br>
I think McCullough did a good job. Indeed her books rekindled my dormant interests in that period. For that I am greatful.<br>
