Thus Gaius Memmius set on foot a process aimed at Marcus Lucullus in 688.

Thus they allowed his more famous brother to wait for three years before the gates of the capital for his well-deserved triumph (688-691).

Quintus Rex and the conqueror of Crete Quintus Metellus were similarly insulted.
It produced a still greater sensation, when the young leader of the democracy Gaius Caesar in 691 not merely presumed to compete with the two most distinguished men of the nobility, Quintus Catulus and Publius Servilius the victor of Isaura, in the candidature for the supreme pontificate, but even carried the day among the burgesses.

The heirs of Sulla, especially his son Faustus, found themselves constantly threatened with an action for the refunding of the public moneys which, it was alleged, had been embezzled by the regent.

They talked even of resuming the democratic impeachments suspended in 664 on the basis of the Varian law.( 7) The individuals who had taken part in the Sullan executions were, as may readily be conceived, judicially prosecuted with the utmost zeal.
