Mithridatic Wars
Lucullus was an important supporter of Sulla, meriting his own article in Plutarch, as well as mention in Plutarch's "Sulla", and Appian's "Mithridatic Wars". Only some summary annals fail to mention him at all. Even though he receives premier attention from the historians, they fail, somehow, to state explicitly what his position in the Roman army was. For that there are several inscriptions.
