ASCLEPIADES Posted October 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 This one is baffling me: Musical fame Late Republic era Notorious contribution to Rome's economic success (through conquest?) Allied with Pompey Sulla is really the only one I can think of who fits the clues, but it's definitely not him. No Sulla, No Cicero, No Sextus . He was the grandfather of at least one triumvire's children. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Manicus Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 I thought of him but I don't get the music angle? Oh wait ... the opera "The Trial of Lucullus" perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Augusta Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 The only person I can think of from this period with 'musical fame' is Hortensius, who was also rich, but I can't see how he fits the other clues you've given, Big A. In any case, I'll go for him: Hortensius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-Manicus Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 Lucullus????? I'm thinking the Big A must have missed this one. Lucullus has GOT to be the answer after this latest clue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
