#Lucius Licinius Lucullus

[just-late-roman-republic-things]

Enough about Caesar crossing the Rubicon, I want a miniseries about the weird, wild, and life-threatening journey Sulla sent Lucullus on during the First Mithridatic War.

Moreover, Caesar was not satisfied to be over­looked at first by Sulla, who was busy with a multitude of proscriptions, but he came before the people as candidate for the priesthood, although he was not yet much more than a stripling. To this candidacy Sulla secretly opposed himself, and took measures to make Caesar fail in it, and when he was deliberating about putting him to death and some said there was no reason for killing a mere boy like him

Plutarch, Caesar

sulla's fight with caesar is extremely funny, but also very Something considering how much of sulla you see reflected in caesar's later actions. breaking news: grown man picks fight with teenager, more at 11.

Come, did not Marcus Cato, when he took over the guardian­ship of Lucullus​ recently, sell the fish from his ponds for 40,000 sesterces? - Varro On Agriculture 3.2.17

Imagine Cato meeting Pompey the eel.

I did it! My first fanfiction, for the pairing that exists probably nowhere else but my own mind, Lucullus/Clodius. Happy Valentine's Day to them!

lana del rey was actually invented in 88 bce when lucius licinius lucullus hallucinated every lyric in order while he marched on rome with sulla. admittedly the lines about his pussy tasting like pepsi cola were somewhat lost on him due to it not being invented yet but he understood the idea perfectly

#this is like. verbatim from another post that i cannot for the life of me find </333 #it was about jopson and crozier from the terror but i cant find itttt ..... #if anyone can find it though send it to me so i can link it on this one... i always feel the need to cite my sources

Henry ‘Chips’ Channon: The Diaries (Vol. 1), 1918-38, entry for 7th July 1923

— 

Saturday 7th July  Gerry [Wellesley] motored me to Polesden Lacey ... Mrs Ronnie Greville's,¹ where I am for the weekend. A fashionable party here, but not at all my stunt .... Mrs Greville is a perfect hostess. She even plays golf despite her massive form, with the professional. The house is too luxurious and constipated ... it cannot digest so much rich furniture, rare tapestries, buhl² and objets de vertu ...³ and food that must make Lucullus⁴ jealous in Paradise. The Yorks honeymooned here ... what strange spell does Mrs Greville cast on royalties? I suspect it is her large fortune to which there is no heir ... or her colossal jewels???⁵

— 1. Margaret 'Maggie' Helen Anderson (1863-1942), daughter of William McEwan, Scottish brewing magnate. She married in 1891 Ronald Henry Fulke Greville (1864-1908), who became a Conservative MP; a close friend of Queen Mary, she was one of London's leading hostesses before and after the Great War, with weekend parties at Polesden Lacey, near Dorking in Surrey. Although always referred to as Mrs Ronnie Greville, she had become Dame Maragaret Greville in 1922.

2. Richly ornate French furniture of the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries designed by André Charles Boulle (1642-1732), the leading cabinet maker specialising in marquetry, one of whose main patrons was Louis XIV.

3. An antique object of especially fine workmanship.

4. Lucius Licinius Lucullus (118-57 BC) was a Roman politician and gastronome.

5. The jewels, including some allegedly owned by Marie Antoinette, were left in 1942 to Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Consort.

樱桃

樱桃是许多李属植物的果实，是一种肉质核果（核果）。

商业樱桃是从几个物种的栽培品种中获得的，例如甜的 Prunus avium 和酸的 Prunus cerasus。 “樱桃”这个名字也指樱桃树及其木材，有时也用于杏仁和李属中外观相似的开花树木，如“观赏樱桃”或“樱花”。 野樱桃可以指种植以外种植的任何樱桃品种，尽管 Prunus avium 在不列颠群岛通常被称为“野樱桃”。

英文单词 cherry 源自古北法语或诺曼语 cherise 来自拉丁语 cerasum，指的是古希腊地区，靠近土耳其吉雷松的 Kerasous (κερασοῦς)，樱桃最初被认为是从那里出口到欧洲的。 甜樱桃的本土分布范围遍及欧洲的大部分地区、西亚和北非的部分地区，自史前时代以来，这种水果就在其整个范围内被食用。 据记载，公元前 72 年，Lucius Licinius Lucullus 从安纳托利亚东北部（也称为本都地区）将一种栽培樱桃带到罗马。

樱桃是在肯特郡锡廷伯恩附近的 Teynham 引入英格兰的，亨利八世曾在法兰德斯品尝过樱桃。

樱桃最早在纽约布鲁克林（当时称为“新荷兰”）定居点抵达北美，当时该地区处于荷兰主权之下。 交易人员租赁或购买土地种植果园和生产花园，“Cornelis van Tienhoven 的证书表明他发现了 12 棵苹果、40 棵桃子、73 棵樱桃树、26 棵鼠尾草……，在 Anthony Janszoon van Salee 卖给巴伦特的房子后面 德克森…��纪事 1639 年 6 月 18 日。”

Favorite things about Lucullus so far:

His name literally means Dawn Dawn.

Apparently the least corrupt person in his entire family line. By like. Miles.

I'm a sucker for good older brothers.

Huge book collector and philosophy nerd.

Wrote history for fun.

Wrote typos into his history to prove he actually wrote it.

CARRION EATER

this is some kind of standalone idea. the original version was much more goofy, crassus was going to cover up pompey's mouth and say, 'no, no. he's got a point. let him speak,' and then pompey was going to bite his hand and say, 'you're not even supposed to BE here.'

then I read a review about a staging of julius caesar that sounded like it got REALLY mean (because it involved improv since it seemed like the intention was supposed to be interactive with the audience) and decided to add some teeth into it.

(also yes, I broke the 180 rule. it’s fine. usually I try to include panels that show characters walking around when I do that, but this comic was a standalone, so instead pretend that I’m spinning the theoretical cameraman around on an office chair or something. or that the camera is a ghost.)

also because titling something Carrion Eater and then NOT having it get a little mean and nasty in the dialogue seemed. like a waste.

eventually, I'll figure out a design for lucullus that I like, I keep wanting to draw other characters when I draw him, so he might need a new hairstyle.

ONWARDS! this is playing off of this scene

To this Lucullus retorted that Pompey was going forth to fight an image and shadow of war, following his custom of alighting, like a lazy carrion-bird, on bodies that others had killed, and tearing to pieces the scattered remnants of wars. For it was in this way that he had appropriated to himself the victories over Sertorius, Lepidus, and the followers of Spartacus, although they had actually been won by Metellus, Catulus, and Crassus. Therefore it was no wonder that he was trying to usurp the glory of the Pontic and Armenian wars, a man who contrived to thrust himself in some way or other into the honour of a triumph for defeating runaway slaves.

Plutarch, Pompey 31

the romans are fightingggggg 🍿🍿🍿

finally, the painting panel is taken from Giovanni Battista Tiepolo's The Triumph of Marius (through the Met's Open Access/Public Domain use policy etc)

#ALRIGHT HERE WE GO #if you saw this a second ago. no you didn't (i uploaded a page at the wrong resolution lmao) #ANYWAY 'you broke the 180 rule' yes i know i don't care about that rule #however what i shouldve done was drawn backgrounds and panels so you could see them moving around #on the other hand. this comic wasn't that serious and it was to test out a gradient setting. #long post #drawing tag #komiks tag #roman republic tag #SHSHGH finally im free. this was taking up space on my ipad that i need for other things #i just couldn't find the energy to finish lettering the last two pages. ehghh #marcus licinius crassus #gnaeus pompeius magnus #lucius licinius lucullus

I would ship Lucullus/Pompey, but only if Lucullus calls Pompey "good eel" the whole time.
