Abstract
The figure of Lucius Cornelius Sulla was of paramount importance in the process of shaping the final period of the Roman Republic as it transitioned, through the Civil Wars, towards the Empire. However, the treatment and attention he has received from the historiography of the last five centuries has often been marginal and associated with the violent nature of the means employed by Sulla to reform the political structure of the Republic. This work reviews some of the modern and contemporary historiographical traditions regarding Sulla up to the work of Arthur Keaveney.
