- On the Ends of Good and Evil §2.107 the villa of Lucullus
Lucius Licinius Lucullus (c. 118-57 BC), the general turned famed connoisseur, whose magnificent villas and gardens became synonyms for cultivated luxury. Cicero cites his estate as a thing that delights the mind for its own sake, not merely the body.

Lucius Licinius Lucullus, the great commander against Mithridates, and his brother Marcus (Terentius Varro Lucullus); both leading optimates who endorsed Cicero's consulship.
