  Lucius Mummius Achaicus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lucius Mummius (2nd century BC), surnamed Achaicus was a Roman statesman and general.
The apparently needless cruelty of Mummius in Corinth, by no means characteristic of him, is explained by Mommsen as due to the instructions of the senate, prompted by the mercantile party, which was eager to get rid of a dangerous commercial rival.
Mummius was the first novus homo of plebeian origin who received a distinctive cognomen for military services.

His indifference to works of art and ignorance of their value is shown by his well-known remark to those who contracted for the shipment of the treasures of Corinth to Rome, that if they lost or damaged them, they would have to replace them.
His brother, Spuitrus MUMMIUS, a man of greater refinement and intellectual powers, accompanied Lucius as his legate to Achaea, whence he sent letters to his friends at Rome, describing his experiences in humorous verse.
Both he and his brother are alluded to by Cicero as mediocre orators, whose style was simple and old-fashioned, although Lucius, as a Stoic, was more concise.

 Hercules That's What Friends are For
Lucius Mummius Achaicus, Proconsul of Rome and hungry to add riches to both her coffers and his, had sailed across the Middle Sea and debarked on the western shores of the Pelopponese.
Mummius behaved as though he was a perfectly peaceful emissary of the Emperor, but the weaponry and might of his army were impressive and hard to ignore.
Mummius fumbled with the warrior’s belt and the laces of his pants, baring the tender skin of his lower abdomen and snapped his fingers for another hot blade.

The region was annexed to the Roman Republic in 146 BC after a brutal campaign, in which the city of Corinth was razed by the Roman general Lucius Mummius, its inhabitants slaughtered or sold into slavery, and the temples looted for sculpture for Roman villas.
Then, in 88 BC, Mithridates VI Eupator, king of Pontus, began a campaign against Rome and won the support of many of the Greek city-states.

The acquisition of works of art for the embellishment of private and public buildings was also frequently based on plunder.
Here one can point to the aftermath of the sack of Corinth by Lucius Mummius Achaicus in 146 B.C., when shiploads of art treasures were sent to Rome.
So too Hitler "collected" works of art from all conquered territories for eventual exhibition in the vast gallery that was to have been built in Linz (De Jaeger 52-56).

 The Internet Classics Archive | Caius Marius by Plutarch
We are altogether ignorant of any third name of Caius Marius; as also of Quintus Sertorius, that possessed himself of Spain or of Lucius Mummius that destroyed Corinth, though this last was surnamed Achaicus from his conquests, as Scipio was called Africanus, and Metellus, Macedonicus.
When Sylla, relying on his word, came to him, the African began to doubt and repent of his purpose, and for several days was unresolved with himself, whether he should deliver Jugurtha or retain Sylla; at length he fixed upon his former treachery, and put Jugurtha alive into Sylla's possession.
Marius's pretences for this action of his seemed very ridiculous; for he said he wanted to go and teach his son to be a general.
