The situation of the Roman Republic in 82.bc
In 82.bc Lucius Cornelius Sulla defeats the marii and liberates Rome.
This being the last in a series of coups, wars, invasions and civil insurrections going back several decades, and in OTL marked the beginning of the fall of Roma and the*mos maiorum.
Sulla, being the last great republican and arguably the greatest roman ever, has taken drastic steeps to save the republic. But the list of problems is long.
Rome's finances are in chaos. There are twenty-seven legions to discharge, find land for, pay out. The men who supported the lawless regimes of Marius, Cinna and Carbo have to be sought out and shown that they cannot escape just punishment.
The laws of Rome are antiquated, particularly with regard to her courts and her governors of provinces. Her civil servants are disorganized and prey to both lethargy and cupidity. So much treasure, money and bullion were robbed from the temples and the temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus and the sybil books are cinder. Sicily, Africa and Spain are still under rebel control and in the east Mithridates VI is still a treat.
Her Sulla allows us to change things from otl. My main interest is formation of some form of bank and stock company, but changes her allows for much much more.
