| Lot description: Faustus Cornelius Sulla, 56 BC. Denarius (Silver, 22 mm, 3.33 g, 11 h), Rome. FAVSTV[S] Draped bust of Diana to right, wearing stephane adorned with a crescent, cruciform earring and a necklace of pendants; behind, lituus. Rev.

Babelon (Cornelia) 59. Crawford 426/1. RBW 1525. Sydenham 879. Brushed and the obverse struck off center, otherwise, fine. Faustus Cornelius Sulla was the son of the famous dictator, Sulla. Known predominantly for his role in the Social War, the Roman Civil War, his campaigns against Mithradates VI Eupator and his dictatorship in 82-79 BC, the great general's first success, namely his role in the ending of the Jugurthine War of 112-106 BC, is referenced on his son's denarius type from 56 BC. Overall military command in the campaign was in the hands of Marius, but it was the young Sulla who captured Jugurtha with the help of Bocchus, thus effectively ending the war. Sulla used this opportunity to stylize himself as the man of the hour on the Roman political stage, earning him the bitter hatred of his superior and future rival, Marius.
