The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 60 days, one point a day.
Something wrong?A Roman general who turned conquest into an art form twice over: first dismantling kingdoms across the East with surgical precision, then shocking Rome by spending his plunder on philosophers, libraries, and pleasure gardens so extravagant that Pliny called him "Xerxes in a Toga".

Lucius Licinius Lucullus spent over 20 years in nearly unbroken military and government service, allied closely with Sulla. During the Third Mithridatic War he conquered the eastern kingdoms through campaigns that became textbook examples of generalship - most notably the Siege of Cyzicus in 73-72 BC and the Battle of Tigranocerta in Armenian Arzanene in 69 BC. He returned to Rome with such staggering quantities of treasure, jewels, art, and slaves that the full accounting proved impossible. The fortune poured into projects that stunned his contemporaries: he transformed his family estate in the Tusculum highlands into a hotel-and-library complex for scholars, built the legendary horti Lucullani on the Pincian Hill, and became a cultural innovator in how imperial wealth could be deployed. He died in the winter of 57-56 BC and was buried at Tusculum.
