Metellus went so far as to claim that that the slaying even of wicked citizens (read: Saturninus and his followers) by Gaius Marius was unacceptable, notwithstanding the very real threat posed by Saturninus. This argument helped to fashion Metellus as respectful of the right political order and aided his supporters in challenging the legitmacy of the position of the chief obstacle to Metellus' restoration to Rome. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2018 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
