Lucius Cornelius Sulla Felix (/ ˈ s ʌ l ə /, Latin pronunciation: [ˈɫuːkius kɔrˈneːlius ˈsulːa ˈfeːliːks]; 138–78 BC), commonly known as Sulla, was a Roman general and statesman.

Sulla also codified, and thus established definitively, the cursus honorum, [45] which required an individual to reach a certain age and level of experience before running for any particular office. Sulla also wanted to reduce the risk that a future general might attempt to seize power, as he himself had done.
