Lucullus

1. L. Licinius Lucullus, curule aedile with Q. Fulvius in B. C. 202. He and his colleague distinguished themselves by the magnificence with which they exhibited the Ludi Romani; but some of the scribes and other officials under the aediles were convicted of defrauding the public treasury; and Lucullus himself incurred the suspicion of having connived at their practices. (Liv. 30.39.)
