Sulla was the greatest Roman and I'm not kidding.
Purely in terms of badassery, yes. Julius Caesar rode a mule for ten years because Sulla forbade him to ride a horse.
But then there's that whole "liked to frick children" thing. I've gotta subtract a few points on that.

Sulla was the first Roman to march on Rome.
Then he went and beat Mithridates while declared an outlaw. No support at all from home. None. Then he invades Italy and commences to fight a civil war and win. Usually outnumbered. Crassus and Pompey were two of his main generals in the civil war as well as Lucullus.
Sulla didn't play and there was a reason everyone was scared to death of him.
