Resum
Quando il generale e politico romano Lucio Licinio Lucullo tornò a Roma durante la Terza Guerra Mitridatica (66 a.C.) dovetti aspettare fino al 63 a.C. per celebrare il trionfo, all'esterno del pomerium, dove sarebbe stata realizzata una lussuosa domus con giardini meno lussuosi. Questo atto venne interpretato negativamente dai suoi contemporanei e attraverso le fonti letterarie venne trasmessa la storia di quello che fu Lucullo, il prototipo del patrizio filellenico, un personaggio stravagante, dedito unicamente a godere della gastronomia e dei più grandi piaceri lussuosi. Pertanto la realizzazione dei Giardini Lucullani è stato, a nostro avviso, un errore politico.
When the Roman general and politician L. Licinius Lucullus returned to Rome from the Third Mithridatic War (66 BC) he had to wait until 63 BC to be authorized to celebrate a triumph. He had to wait outside the pomerium, where a luxurious domus with no less luxurious gardens will be built. This act was interpreted in a negative way by his contemporaries since the message was conveyed through literary sources that Lucullus was, besides being the prototype of a philhellenic patrician, an extravagant character, dedicated only to enjoying gastronomy and the most luxurious pleasures. Therefore, the construction of the Horti Lucullani was, in our opinion, a political mistake.
