Where it sits in time

3000 BCE2000 BCE1000 BCE110002000Republic of Lucca: 1160 – 1805

Five thousand years, 3000 BCE to 2026; the state in gold.

How it ended, as its article says

Replaced, 1805. Read from the article's section “lead” by its grammar; the claim is only that the article says so.

Later the state continued to exist but was, de facto, dependent upon Napoleonic France, and ceased officially its existence in 1805, when it was transformed into the Principality of Lucca and Piombino.
