Den lukulliske Lucullus' passioner; om villaträdgårdar, mat och ett romerskt orginal

Gustavsson, Jerry (2008)
Classical archaeology and ancient history
Abstract
Abstract

For this exam paper, I have chosen to delve into the life of Lucius Licinius Lucullus, the famous Roman general and statesman of the 1st century BC. Widely regarded as a glutton and degenerate, I will try to examine if these claims are true or completely exaggerated. My research will be based on the works of Plutarch, the great Greek scholar and biographer, who's our main source of knowledge regarding the life of Lucullus. Furthermore, I will examine two of Lucullus's main interests ? his love for villa gardens and culinary delights ? to see in what way they have contributed to the common picture of him as a sybarite. My findings and conclusions will be summed up at the end of the paper.
