He sent some of his own men with the Senate's messengers to confer about these matters. As soon as they learned from the Brundusians that Cinna was dead and that Rome was in an unsettled state, they went back to Sulla without transacting their business. Y.R. 671 He started with five legions of Italian troops and B.C. 83 6000 horse, to whom he added some other forces from the Peloponnesus and Macedonia, in all about 40,000 men. He led them from the Piræus to Patræ, and then sailed from Patræ to Brundusium in 1600 ships.

They traversed Italy, collecting soldiers whom they carried across by detachments on shipboard to Liburnia,On the northern coast of Illyria. as they expected to meet Sulla there. Y.R. 670 The first detachment had a prosperous voyage. The B.C. 84 next one encountered a storm and those who reached land went home immediately, as they did not relish the prospect of fighting their fellow-citizens. When the rest learned this they refused to cross to Liburnia. Cinna was angry and called them to an assembly in order to coerce them. They, angry also and ready to defend themselves, assembled.
