for him, a power which the potions were supposed to have, but they so far disturbed and destroyed his reason, that during his lifetime his brother managed his affairs.  However, when Lucullus died, the people grieved just as much as if he had died at the height of his military distinction and his political career, and they flocked together and had his body carried to the Forum by the young men of the highest rank and were proceeding forcibly to have it interred in the Campus Martius where Sulla was interred; but, as nobody had expected this, and it was not easy to make the requisite preparations, the brother of Lucullus prayed and prevailed on the people to allow the funeral ceremony to take place on the estate at Tusculum, where preparations for it had been made.  Nor did he long survive; but as in age and reputation he came a little after Lucullus, so he died shortly after him, a most affectionate brother.

FOOTNOTES: 

[Footnote 315:  The complete name of Lucullus was L. Licinius Lucullus.  The Licinii were a Plebeian Gens, to which belonged the Luculli, Crassi, Muraenae, and others.  Lucius Licinius Lucullus, the grandfather of Plutarch’s Lucullus, was the son of L. Licinius Lucullus, who was curule aedile B.C. 202, and the first who gave nobility to his family.  This grandfather of Lucullus was consul B.C. 151 with P. Postumius Albinus.  He conquered the Vaccaei, Cantabri, and other nations of Spain, hitherto unknown to the Romans.  Appian (Iberica, c. 52) gives an instance of his cruelty and perfidy in his Spanish wars.  L. Licinius Lucullus, the father, was praetor B.C. 103.  In B.C. 102 he went to take the command against the slaves who were in rebellion in Sicily under Athenion.  He conducted the war ill, and on his return he was prosecuted for peculation and convicted.  His punishment was exile.  It is not known what the offence was that Servilius was charged with.]

[Footnote 316:  This Metellus was the conqueror of Jugurtha; he was consul B.C. 109.  See the Life of Marius, c. 7.  His sister Caecilia was the wife of L. Licinius Lucullus, the father of Plutarch’s Lucullus; she was also the mother of Marcus the brother of Lucius Lucullus.]

[Footnote 319:  I should have translated the Greek word ([Greek:  dikologos]) “orator.”  Jurist in Plutarch is [Greek:  nomodeiktes] (Plutarch, Tib.  Gracchus, c. 9) or [Greek:  nomikos].  Quintus Hortensius Ortalus, the orator, was a friend and rival of Cicero, who often speaks of him.  He began his career as a pleader in the courts at the age of nineteen, and continued his practice for forty-four years.
