A quā similitudine, hi, qui in locis abditis et sorditis ventri et gulae operam dant, dicuntur in lustris vitam agere, Paul. ex Fest. p. 120: domus, in qua lustra, libidines, luxuries, omnia denique inaudita vitia, versentur,Cic. Cael. 23, 57: studere lustris,Plaut. As. 5, 2, 17: lustris perire,Lucr. 4, 1136: vino lustrisque confectus,Cic. Phil. 2, 3, 6: qui pugnent, marcere Campana luxuria, vino et scortis omnibusque lustris per totam hiemem confectos,Liv. 23, 45, 3.
lustrum lustrum, i, n.2. luo, a purificatory sacrifice, expiatory offering, lustration, made by the censors for the whole people once in five years, after completing the census, and in which a swine, a sheep, and a bull were offered (suovetaurilia): lustrum condere, to make the lustral sacrifice: lustrum condidit et taurum immolavit,Cic. de Or. 2, 66, 268: censu perfecto edixit, ut omnes cives Romani in campo primā luce adessent. Ibi exercitum omnem suovetaurilibus lustravit: idque conditum lustrum appellatum, quia is censendo finis factus est,Liv. 1, 44; 3, 24; cf. id. 35, 9; 38, 36; 42, 10. The census could also be taken without being followed by a lustrum, Liv. 3, 22, 1; 24, 43, 4: sub lustrum censeri, at the close of the census, when the lustrum should begin: sub lustrum censeri, germani negotiatoris est (because these were usually not in Rome, and were included in the census last of all),Cic. Att. 1, 18, 8. Being a religious ceremonial, the lustrum was sometimes omitted, when circumstances seemed to forbid it: census actus eo anno: lustrum propter Capitolium captum, consulem occisum, condi religiosum fuit,Liv. 3, 22, 1. Hence in part, doubtless, must be explained the small number of lustra actually celebrated; thus, A. U. C. 296: census perficitur, idque lustrum ab origine urbis decimum conditum ferunt,Liv. 3, 24, 10.Transf.A propitiatory offering: quinto die Delphis Apollini pro me exercitibusque et classibus lustra sacrificavi,Liv. 45, 41, 3.A period of five years, a lustrum (because every five years a lustrum was performed).
