Dictators

L. Cornelius Sulla Felix
7 magistracies , aged 58 at this time

Broughton: A number of Sulla's constitutional reforms may not have been completed until this year. Certainly military action continued at Nola (a) and at Volaterrae (b), and much of his colonization should probably be assigned to this year (a).

Consuls

L. Cornelius Sulla Felix
7 magistracies , aged 58 at this time

Broughton: A number of Sulla's constitutional reforms may not have been completed until this year. Certainly military action continued at Nola (Liv. Per. 89) and at Volaterrae (Gran. Lic. 39 B), and much of his colonization should probably be assigned to this year (Liv. Per. 89). As he was a candidate for the consulship of 77 but withdrew in favor of Mam. Aemilius Lepidus Livianus (Sall. Hist. 1.81 M), this is the latest date possible under the Cornelian law.
