This goddess, as Sulla fancied, stood by his side and put into his hand a thunder-bolt, and naming his enemies one by one, bade him smite them with it; and they were all smitten, and fell, and vanished away. Encouraged by the vision, he told it to his colleague, and at break of day led on towards Rome.</font></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><b>Next theme: </b>Fighting on a Republican coin</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]914686[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><b>C.
