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.
Latins Latins referred originally to an Italic tribe in ancient central Italy from Latium. As Roman power and colonization spread Latin culture, "Latins" came to mean mostly unified Italic people and Romanized Iberians, Celts, Dacians, and some Illyrians whose land was conquered by Latin colonists and who have abandoned their languages and identity for Latin and were assimilated by Rome in to common Roman identity with Latinized culture and speaking Latin or a Romance language (see Latin peoples).
