That November, Sulla won the decisive Battle of the Colline Gate just outside Rome's walls, narrowly defeating a force of Marian rivals and Samnites. The victory allowed him to seize absolute control of the Republic, declare himself Dictator, and launch the infamous Proscriptions, which were a series of state-sanctioned political purges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roman Numismatics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54724013719889,"sku":null,"price":215.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1059\/3173\/5377\/files\/20260828_192512.jpg?v=1787949587","url":"https:\/\/romannumismatics.com\/products\/roman-republican-denarius-sullas-civil-war-issue-82-bc","provider":"Roman Numismatics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
