L’Amour et le pouvoir
110 avant J.-C.: la République est à son apogée et, pourtant, elle est déjà minée par l’argent, la cupidité et les luttes de factions. Deux hommes vont se lever. Deux hommes d’exception, avec, chacun, l’ambition de devenir le «Premier parmi les Romains», distinction accordée à de très rares occasions depuis les origines de la République. Aucun des deux, cependant, ne dispose à priori des moyens pour parvenir à ses fins. Marius a contre lui ses origines: c’est un notable enrichi et il n’appartient donc pas à l’une ou l’autre des grandes lignées patriciennes dont les représentants dominent le Sénat et gouvernent la cité depuis la chute de la monarchie. À l’opposé, Sylla est de naissance aristocratique, mais il a contre lui d’être un homme désargenté qui a décider d’oublier sa condition dans la recherche effrénée des plaisirs. De tous les plaisirs.
