Easy
Just check people who carried the cogname Nobilior.
Just like

>flow with noble Roman blood
That would be Marius & Co. Sulla butchered Italians and traitors, Marius killed off half a generation of talented nobles.
>burned Athens
You mean the city that supported a man who killed about 100,000 Romans and Italians? Deserved punishment. And he wasn't stupid to destroy the artwork, of course he sold it. The treasury was flat.

The idea of any person in a position of power being 'noble' doesn't mesh.
