==Contemporary sources== {{Campaignbox First Mithridatic War}} {{Campaignbox Third Mithridatic War}} Lucullus was included in the biographical collections of Roman leading generals and politicians, originating in the biographical compendium of famous Romans published by his contemporary [[Marcus Terentius Varro]]. Two biographies of Lucullus survive today, [[Plutarch]]'s ''Lucullus'' in the famous series of ''[[Parallel Lives]]'', in which Lucullus is paired with the Athenian aristocratic politician and ''[[Strategos]]'' [[Cimon]], and # 74 in the slender Latin ''Liber de viris illustribus'', of late and unknown authorship, the main sources for which appear to go back to Varro and his most significant successor in the genre, [[Gaius Julius Hyginus]].
