Sylla: A Tragedy In Five Acts is a play written by Victor Joseph Etienne de Jouy and originally published in 1829. The play is set in ancient Rome during the time of the Roman Republic and follows the story of Lucius Cornelius Sulla, a Roman general and politician who becomes dictator of Rome. The play explores themes of power, ambition, and the corrupting influence of absolute authority. It also depicts the struggle between the aristocracy and the common people, as well as the tension between Roman traditions and the desire for change and progress. Through the character of Sulla, the play portrays the dangers of unchecked ambition and the consequences of using violence and manipulation to achieve one's goals. The play also features a cast of other historical figures, including Gaius Marius, Lucius Licinius Lucullus, and Pompey the Great. Overall, Sylla: A Tragedy In Five Acts is a compelling and thought-provoking work that offers a glimpse into the tumultuous political landscape of ancient Rome and the complex personalities that shaped its history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
