Lucius Cornelius Sulla Felix had his triumph in 81 BC (27th & 28th Jan.) for the defeat of King Mithridates. He probably had others but 11 lines from the years 103 - 97 BC have been erased from the "Fasti Thriumpales" - the list containing all roman triumphs from Romulus to Augustus.
One of the few roman commanders to get the corona graminea, the highest military honor in Rome, awarded for personal bravery to a commanding general in the saving of a Roman Army in the field. Unlike all other Roman military honors, it was awarded by acclamation of the soldiers of the rescued army, and consequently very few were ever awarded.
Marched on Rome itself on two occasions. Assumed the role of dictator but later abdicated and retired from political life.
Born around 138 BC - Died in 78 BC from liver failure.
His character was sometimes described as being half fox, half lion due to his perceived cunning and bravery; Machiavelli would later allude to his description of Sulla in outlining the most desirable characteristics of a prince
his epitaph reads: No greater friend, no worse enemy

However in 36 BC he was out-maneuvered by Octavian (Augustus) and exiled.
He did keep the title of Pontifex Maximus until his death in 13 BC.

Publius Licinius Crassus Dives had his triumph in 93 BC (june) for his victory over the Lusitani. Very wealthy and friends with the Casar family (Lucius). He had 3 sons - one of which Marcus Crassus became part of Julius Caesar triumvirate alongside Pompeius Magnus.
Probably committed suicide in 87 BC as a result of him not whole-heartedly backing the faction of Gaius Marius as they took power in Rome.
Five times Consul and 2 times dictator, Fabius Maximus Rullianus had a total of 3 triumphs celebrated for his victories over the Samnites, Etruscans and Gauls. He had his last triumph in 294 BC for his victory in the battle of Sentium.

Marcus Valerius Corvus had his triumph on March 15 th 335 BC for his victory over the Caleni. This was allegedly his 3rd triumph and his fourth period as consul.
He would actually achieve a fifth consul period, but the historical sources for his almost too-long list of exploits are scarce.
Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus celebrated his triumphs in 178 BC for defeating the Iberian Celts and again in 175 for the taking of Sardinia.
An accomplished general and a brilliant if controversial politician. Was elected consul two times. He was also censor two times all though he had to resign because of controversy. He had 12 children with his wife Cornelia who would later be known as Cornelia, Mother of the Gracchi. She would become the epitome of a roman woman.
Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus died in 154 BC
Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus received his first triumph in 81 BC. It was granted to him by Sulla who by that time was dictator. It was also at that time he was given the cognomen Magnus "the great" which at the time was meant as a joke.
He did in fact first get his triumph after threatening to march on Rome after he initially was denied a triumph for victories on Sicily and Africa against Marian commanders.
He would later in his career live up to the name Magnus and become one of the most successful roman commanders and his name lives on to this day.

Quintus Caecilius Metellus Pius - only son of Metellus Numidicus, started his military career as a legate to Lucius Cornelius Sulla in the Social War.
