I'm trying to remember the name and battle that a Roman General. I might be unintentionally mixing parts of it up with other historic parts. The story goes the Roman Empire need someone to lead their armies for a battle; they drafted this "farmer" from their own territories. This "farmer" lead the armies to victory and was sent back home within two weeks.

Probably we're talking about Cincinnatus.

6Link only answer? The story is what? I mean Lucius was a patrician, so no "ordinary farmer". Please expand on this to explain how he might fit the description. Sep 3, 2018 at 18:52

While you are probably right, note that various things do not match up (probably due to misremembering) this should be mentioned.– user31561Sep 4, 2018 at 11:53
