Metrobius
Metrobius (Ancient Greek: Μητρόβιος; lived 1st century BC) was an actor and singer, in the Roman Republic. He was said to be the lover of Lucius Cornelius Sulla Felix, the famed general and dictator. Metrobius is mentioned twice by Plutarch in his Parallel Lives, who clearly disapproves of his relationship with Sulla. These excerpts are as follows.
"It was this laxity, as it seems, which produced in him [Sulla] a diseased propensity to amorous indulgence and an unrestrained voluptuousness, from which he did not refrain even in his old age, but continued his youthful love for Metrobius, an actor."
"However, even though he [Sulla] had such a wife at home, he consorted with actresses, harpists, and theatrical people, drinking with them on couches all day long. For these were the men who had most influence with him now: Roscius the comedian, Sorex the archmime, and Metrobius the impersonator of women, for whom, though past his prime, he continued up to the last to be passionately fond, and made no denial of it."
Though Sulla took other partners during his career, by Plutarch's account he remained in love with Metrobius until the end of his life.

卢基乌斯·科尔内利乌斯·苏拉(幸运者)(拉丁語:LVCIVS·CORNELIVS·L·F·P·N·SVLLA·FELIX,前138年—前78年),古罗马時期執政官、独裁官,史称苏拉,是一位罗马将军和政治家、军事家。他赢得了罗马历史上的第一次大规模内战,成为罗马共和国第一个通过武力夺取政权的人。
苏拉因两次担任执政官,并恢复了独裁官制度而知名。他是一位才华横溢、勇于创新的将军,在与国内外不同对手的战争中取得了无数成功。在对抗努米底亚国王朱古达的战争中,由于朱古达国王的盟友的背叛,苏拉得以俘虏了这位国王。虽然他的上级盖乌斯·马略因结束战争而获得了最多的功劳, 苏拉也因俘虏朱古达而名声鹊起。然后他在辛布里战争中成功地打败了日耳曼部落作战,在同盟者战争中打败了意大利部落。由于他在同盟者战争中的出色指挥,他被授予禾草环。
苏拉是罗马贵族派和平民派的长期政治斗争中的一位重要人物。他是贵族派的领导人。贵族派力图维持其在元老院至高无上的地位,反对以马略为首的平民派所倡导的平民化改革。在一场对抗米特拉达梯的战争指挥权的争端中,元老院最初授予苏拉指挥权,但由于马略的勾心斗角,元老院又收回了这一指挥权。苏拉史无前例的决定向罗马进军,并在战斗中击败了马略的军队。尽管如此,当他带着军队前往亚洲后,平民派又夺回了权力。公元前 82 年,苏拉从东方胜利归来,他决定第二次向罗马进军,并在科丽纳门之战中击败了平民派及其意大利盟友。然后,他恢复了独裁官——这个自第二次布匿战争一个世纪以来一直处于废除状态的职位。他用他的权力清洗他的反对者,并改革罗马宪政,恢复元老院的至高无上的地位,同时限制平民护民官的权力。公元前 79 年,苏拉辞去独裁官一职,隐退到普通生活中,并于次年去世。
苏拉的军事政变(具有讽刺意味的是马略的军事改革使罗马军队效忠于将军,而非罗马共和国)永久性地破坏了罗马权力结构的稳定。后来的政治领导人,如尤利乌斯·凯撒,也效仿了他的先例,通过武力来获得了政治权力。
