Sulla the Happy
In 88 BCE Lucius Cornelius Sulla (aka Sulla Felix) was chosen tribune, and the following year marched off to encounter Mithridates the Great. When he arrived in Asia to face Mithridates, the political climate in Rome had changed so much that he allied with Mithridates and marched back to Rome. He entered unhindered and became dictator. After two years of dictatorship (80 BCE), tired of war, of power and glory, perhaps of men, he surrounded himself with singers, dancers, actors, and actresses; wrote his Commemarii, hunted and fished, ate and drank. Men had long since called him Sulla Felix, Sulla the Happy, because he had won every battle, known every pleasure, reached every power, and lived without fear or regret. Within a decade, all of Sulla's work was in ruins—corruption ruled and the road was paved for Caesar's civil war.

Full disclosure, I may occasionally borrow a sentence from Will Durant's Story of Civilization. I absolutely love that collection!
