From Book 70

[70.1] When Manius Aquilius was accused of extortion, he refused to appeal to the jury, and Marcus Antonius, who had spoken for him, tore the tunic from his chest to show his honorable scars.

[70.2] Without further ado, he was acquitted.

[70.3] (Cicero is the only source for this case.)

[70.4] [97] Proconsul Titus Didius successfully fought against the Celtiberians.

[70.5] [96] After his death, king Ptolemy of Cyrene, surnamed Apion, made the Roman people his inheritor and the Senate decreed that all the towns in his kingdom were to be free.

[70.6] [95] Ariobarzanes was brought back to the kingdom of Cappadocia by Lucius Cornelius Sulla.

[70.7] Envoys of the Parthians, sent by the Arsacid king [Mithradates II], came to Sulla to ask for the friendship of the Roman people.

[70.8] [92] Because as deputy of governor Gaius Mucius he had defended Asia against the injustice of the publicans, Publius Rutilius, a man of supreme innocence, was hated by the equestrian order, which controlled the law courts and sent him into exile because of extortion.

[70.9] Praetor Gaius Sentius unsuccessfully fought against the Thracians.

[70.10] [91] The Senate, which refused to accept the control of the law courts by the equestrian order, started to try to transfer control to the Senate itself. It was supported by tribune Marcus Livius Drusus, who, to obtain more power, stirred up the people with the dangerous hope of a largesse.

[70.11] It^note[Book 70.] also contains an account of the troubles in the Syrian kingdom.
