Do you think that the Triumvirate was good or bad for Rome?

I am not having very good success in Parthia. I am about to go into a big battle called the Battle of Carrhae, and I am not feeling to good about it. I don't think that my men and I will be able to defeat the Parthians. I have a feeling that this might be my last post.

Now the year is 55 B.C. I am still a great ruler of Rome, and I am having much political success. Since Julius Caesar has been away on a conquest in Gaul, I have decided to make my own conquest. I am traveling to Turkey to fight against the Parthians. I hope that this will be a great win for Rome.

Welcome, the year is now 60 B.C. I have just become part of the First Triumvirate with Julius Caesar, and Pompey. Julius Caesar is now my good friend because I lent him a big sum of money to help him with his conquests in Spain last year. I am also now good friends with Pompey because we were consuls together back in 70 B.C. I hope that our ruling together will be a good thing for not just me, but for the city of Rome.

Hello again. It is now 70 B.C., and I am running to become consul of Rome with one of my acquaintances Pompey. We are hoping to become the consuls and we also hope to restore the Republic and bring back the tribunes to Rome. We also are looking to reduce some of the Senate's Power. I think that will be able to do many good things as the consul of Rome

Hello everybody. It is now the year 73 B.C. I am a very happy person. I just defeated a slave revolt in Capua that was led by Spartacus. It is a great accomplishment, and a great victory for my soldiers. I am very excited to see what will happen next.

This year was a very unfortunate year. During this year, my father and my brother were both killed. They were killed because they were supporters of Sulla when he massacred hundreds of his rival's followers. His rival was names Marius, and when his followers retaliated, they killed my father and brother. I luckily escaped with three of my friends, and ten servants to Spain. I have been living in a large cave on my friend Vibius Pacianus' land. I have been living in here for eight months, and I am just waiting for the day to hear that Marius' successor, Cinna, has finally died. I can't wait to go back to Rome.
