Dealing with Sulla within the context of the Social War entails, first and foremost, a consideration of his contribution to the Roman military effort and the single role he played in launching a successful counteroffensive against the Italian Allies.
An exploration of the interactions between Sulla and the Italian communities, however, also draws attention to the wider hinterland of that military engagement.
The central aim of this paper is to explore the evidence for Sulla’s engagement with the political dynamics across Italy during and after the Social War. The wider question of Sulla's approach to the enfranchisement of the Allies and their inclusion into the citizen body will also be discussed in this connection.
