Auf der Grundlage der Konzepte kulturelles Trauma und kulturelles Gedächtnis untersucht die Autorin erstmals umfassend die antike Erinnerung an Lucius Cornelius Sulla über einen Zeitraum von fast 400 Jahren. Sulla marschierte mit seinem Heer auf Rom, verwüstete Athen und plünderte panhellenische Heiligtümer. Nach dem Sieg im Bürgerkrieg nahm er den Beinamen Felix, der Glückliche, an und befahl als Diktator Racheaktionen gegen weite Kreise der Bevölkerung. Bald nach seinem Tod begann eine breite Diskussion, wie die Folgen seines Terrorregimes aufzuarbeiten seien. Schließlich verankerten die Römer Sullas Schreckenstaten als kulturelles Trauma in ihrem kulturellen Gedächtnis. Dies sollte bis weit in die Kaiserzeit hinein Konsequenzen haben. Sulla Felix hatte in unvorstellbarer Weise gegen die Bindung von felicitas an das Wohl der Römer verstoßen. Zwar blieb felicitas positiv besetzt und mit der Person des Princeps verbunden, doch der Beiname Felix wurde für lange Zeit zum Stigma. Die Erinnerung daran, wie sehr Sulla fundamentale Normen verletzt hatte, wirkte über Jahrhunderte bei Griechen und Römern fort. Das Buch wendet sich an Leser mit Interesse an der Wirkungsgeschichte Sullas von der späten Republik bis in die Zeit der Severer.

"Lucius Cornelius Sulla led his army against Rome, devastated Athens, and, as dictator, took bloody revenge on his enemies after his victory in the Civil War. His iconoclasm was infused in the collective memory of Greeks and Romans for many generations. Based on the concepts of cultural trauma and cultural memory, this book presents the first comprehensive study on the ancient memory of Sulla, covering a period of over 400 years."-- Lucius Cornelius Sulla led his army against Rome, devastated Athens, and, as dictator, took bloody revenge on his enemies after his victory in the Civil War.
