86 BC: Sulla captures Athens in the First Mithridates War
It is assumed that Sulla with his army landed in Epirus and from there proceeded to Attica. First, Sulla defeated the commanders of Mithridates in the Athens region. After that, he besieged Athens itself, and soon (March 1, 86) took them by storm, finding a poorly fortified place in the city wall. After that, he gave the city to plunder his soldiers, which resulted in the murder of many citizens. As a result, many Athenians killed themselves, expecting the imminent destruction of the city. However, then Sulla, taking Acropolis, where the Athenian tyrant strengthened, pardoned the city, justifying it with its glorious past. However, the city was badly damaged, the groves in the Academy of Plato and Lycaea of Aristotle were cut down for the construction of siege vehicles, the Athenian port of Piraeus was depopulated, and the naval arsenal of Philo was destroyed. In need of cash, Sulla ordered the plunder of several temples, including the temple of Apollo at Delphi, where Pythia prophesied.
