When did the civilization that Lucullus was a politician for end?
Lucullus (disambiguation) Lucullus is a Roman cognomen derived from "lux" ("light"). It was used by the plebeian family "Licinii Luculli" of gens Licinia. Lucius Licinius Lucullus, the late Roman Republic politician and conqueror of Mithridates, was among the most well-known names.
Patrician (ancient Rome) The patricians (from Latin: "" ) were originally a group of ruling class families in ancient Rome. Although the distinction was highly significant in the early Republic, its relevance waned after the Conflict of the Orders (494 BC to 287 BC), and by the time of the late Republic and Empire, membership in the patriciate was of only nominal significance.
