dc.description	The political career of Gaius Marius was not only memorable for its unprecedented personal triumphs, but was also of momentous significance in the history of the Roman Republic. Against a background of disasters, Marius achieved a position in political life in Rome (108-99 BC) which had not been witnessed before. This book traces his rise to prominence, his contribution to the legislation of the period and his involvement with senatorial politicians. As a consequence of his role in politics, inadvertently he was the cause of the beginning of the fall of the Roman Republic.
