It followed every major military victory in ancient Rome: the successful general drove through the streets to the temple of Jupiter on the Capitoline Hill; behind him streamed his raucous soldiers; in front were his prisoners, as well as the booty he’d captured, from enemy ships and precious statues to plants and animals from the conquered territory. Occasionally there was so much on display that the show lasted two or three days.
A radical reexamination of this most extraordinary of ancient ceremonies, this book explores the magnificence of the Roman triumph, but also its darker side. What did it mean when the axle broke under Julius Caesar’s chariot? And what are the implications of the Roman triumph, as a celebration of imperialism and military might, for questions about military power and “victory” in our own day? The triumph, Mary Beard contends, prompted the Romans to question as well as celebrate military glory.

Tibi gratias ago tibi quia hoc vos es bonus homo = Thank you for this you are a good person. Sorry for my bad spelling in my frist post. My Greek teacher would have beaten me for that.
March 30th, 2023
My teacher was Greek. Haha, I am bad at English too. I guess I should stick to reading. Latin still gets me sometimes.

Your language skills are a Triumph, cluckers.
March 30th, 2023
@cluckers: :) No worries. I understood you just fine. Did you learn Greek as well? (I’ve been slowly teaching myself Attic Greek from Athenaze. It’s a bit of a steep learning curve, tougher than Latin to be sure, but lots of fun).

Thanks, Euripides! I actually requested them a long time ago but they haven’t been fulfilled so far. I Usually don’t leave requests on comment sections it is just my last resort :P

Wow Euripides I tried Greek and failed utterly. You are impressive. I would love to read Homer in the original Greek.
