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.
Spurius Lucretius Tricipitinus Spurius Lucretius Tricipitinus is a semi-legendary figure in early Roman history. He was the first Suffect Consul of Rome and was also the father of Lucretia, whose rape by Sextus Tarquinius, followed by her suicide, resulted in the dethronement of King Lucius Tarquinius Superbus, therefore directly precipitating the founding of the Roman Republic. It is believed that Lucretius and his accomplishments are at least partly mythical and most ancient references to him were penned by Livy and Plutarch.
