The military achievements of Lucius Licinius Lucullus (118-57/56
B.C.) have been the subject of admiration and great respect
throughout the history of the study of warfare. Yet there have been
few studies dedicated to a comprehensive examination of exactly how
Lucullus conquered the Roman East and made it a more or less
cohesive part of the empire. Lee Frantantuono considers every
aspect of Lucullus life, starting with the training and education
of a future Roman officer, but the greatest emphasis is on his
military strategy and tactics during the Third Mithridatic War and
his military adventures in Armenia. His most famous achievement was
his victory against immense odds at the land battle of
Tigranocerta. We are also reminded that he one of the most
formidable naval strategists of the Roman Republic. Lucullus
complicated relationship with Sulla and Crassus is explored and the
study concludes with the retirement of the man Pliny the Elder
memorably referred to as 'Xerxes in a Toga', a patron of the arts
and master of a life of horticulture and reflection.
