Spann 1987, p. 31. This battle is the source of the story where a soldier unknowingly kills his own brother, intended to show the tragedy of civil war; Konrad 1994, p. 56-57 argues it is no coincidence that Sertorius was stationed against Pompeius Strabo; since Sertorius may have once served under him, he could more easily attempt to persuade Strabo's army to defect to the Marian side than other Marian leaders.

Konrad 1994, pp. 83–84 and; Strisino 2002, p. 39 argue it is possible the city defected to Sulla during the armistice (perceiving Scipio's negotiations as a sign of weakness), and thus Sertorius, en route to Norbanus, conquered the town to restore the status quo.

Spann 1987, pp. 36–37, 151 believes it is also possible Sertorius, who distrusted Sulla and doubted the judgement of Scipio, conquered the city intending to force an end to negotiations. Spann believes that calling Sertorius' seizure of Suessa a "foolish action" is not wholly unjustified, but argues against trusting Appian's account (the only one that survives, based on Sulla's memoirs) which states Sertorius' capture of Suessa as being the main cause of negotiations ending and the defection of the Marian army. So; Konrad 1994, p. 84: "the loss of the Consul's [Scipio's] army was not caused by the seizure of Suessa". Spann, Philip O. (1987). Quintus Sertorius and the Legacy of Sulla.

Plut. Sert., 9, which reports the story that Sertorius unearthed the body of Antaeus, the son of Poseidon and Gaia and husband of Tinge (the namesake of Tingis). Sertorius apparently found the body to be sixty cubits, or ninety feet, tall. He reburied the body after performing a sacrifice, and, according to Plutarch, was thereafter was among those promoting its traditions and honours.; Konrad 1994, p. 113-114 believes this story shows Sertorius' "skill at manipulating native beliefs and traditions to his own advantage".

Konrad 1994, pp. 206–7. Konrad notes that Sertorius' tyranny is present across nearly all ancient sources, and also argues that some of Sertorius' staff, particularly the distinguished officers Octavius Graecinus and Tarquitius Priscus, who had probably served under him since 82 BC, would not have joined in such a conspiracy to remove a relatively successful leader such as Sertorius unless his behaviour had become intolerable.
