Description

A reexamination of the most extraordinary of ancient ceremonies, this book explores the magnificence of the Roman Triumph—but also its darker side, as it prompted the Romans to question as well as celebrate military glory. This work is a testament to the profound importance of the triumph in Roman culture—and for monarchs and generals ever since.
