He was subsequently killed by his own soldiers who claimed that he had been guilty of treason. Most contemporary accounts, however, believe the real reason he was killed was on account of his cruelty. Sulla, who was then a legate of the consul Lucius Porcius Cato, incorpo­rated his troops with his own, but did not punish the offenders. [Livy, "Epit." 75] [Plutarch, "Sulla" 6]
