Lucius Valerius Flaccus
In 82 BC, the victorious general Sulla entered Rome after defeating the Marian forces, and at his urging the interrex, Lucius Valerius Flaccus convinced the "comitia" to appoint Sulla dictator for the purpose of restoring order. Sulla had thus revived the office of dictator, and with it, the position of magister equitum. In gratitude, Sulla appointed Flaccus master of the horse, although he seems to have conducted no military activity. Sulla and Flaccus continued in office until laying down their authority in 79.
