Lucius Valerius Flaccus
Having managed this achievement, the Marians sent out Lucius Valerius Flaccus with an army to relieve Sulla of his command in the east. Flaccus had been given as second in command Gaius Flavius Fimbria, an individual whom history records had few virtues. He was to eventually agitate against his commanding officer and incite the troops to murder Flaccus.
