Sulla claims he built the canal and once again Marius unjustly claims credit for his successes.

Somehow I doubt either Marius or Sulla got their hands dirty actually digging the canal.

But as for anyone else who objected to getting their hands dirty digging the canal, do you think they just locked them up?

Navvies are expendable and cost less than mules.
