In 80 B.C. he took the consulship with Metellus Pius, and thus paved the way for the restoration of the republican order. He refused re-election for 79 B.C., and at the beginning of the year resigned his dictatorship. Whatever share indifference and the desire of ease may have had in his deter- mination, thi...s act was the logical outcome of his ideas.

More than this ; unless he accepted permanent office he could not accept office at all ; he was too big a man for the machine he had created. Calling the people together, to their surprise and admiration, he laid down his power, dismissed his lictors and guard, offered to give a reckoning ior his acts, and passed away unchallenged to his home, a private citizen, amid the breathless wonder of the crowd.
