triumph</b> (<i><span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la"><a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/triumphus" class="extiw" title="wikt:triumphus">triumphus</a></i></span></i>) was a <a href="/wiki/Civil_religion" title="Civil religion">civil ceremony</a> and <a href="/wiki/Religion_in_ancient_Rome" title="Religion in ancient Rome">religious rite of ancient Rome</a>, held to publicly celebrate and sanctify the success of a military commander who had led Roman forces to victory in the service of the state or, in some historical traditions, one who had successfully completed a foreign war. </p><p>On the day of his triumph, the general wore a crown of laurel and an all-purple, gold-embroidered triumphal <i><a href="/wiki/Toga_picta" class="mw-redirect" title="Toga picta">toga picta</a></i> ("painted" toga), regalia that identified him as near-divine or near-kingly. In some accounts, his face was painted red, perhaps in imitation of Rome's highest and most powerful god, <a href="/wiki/Jupiter_(mythology)" class="mw-redirect" title="Jupiter (mythology)">Jupiter</a>. The general rode in a four-horse chariot through the streets of Rome in unarmed procession with his army, captives, and the spoils of his war. At <a href="/wiki/Temple_of_Jupiter_Optimus_Maximus" title="Temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus">Jupiter's temple</a> on the <a href="/wiki/Capitoline_Hill" title="Capitoline Hill">Capitoline Hill</a>, he offered sacrifice and the tokens of his victory to Jupiter. </p><p>In <a href="/wiki/Roman_Republic" title="Roman Republic">Republican</a> tradition, only the <a href="/wiki/Roman_Senate" title="Roman Senate">Senate</a> could grant a triumph. The origins and development of this honour are obscure: Roman historians themselves placed the first triumph in the mythic past. Republican <a href="/wiki/Mos_maiorum" title="Mos maiorum">morality</a> required that the general conduct himself with dignified humility, as a mortal <a href="/wiki/Roman_citizenship" title="Roman citizenship">citizen</a> who triumphed on behalf of Rome's Senate, people, and gods. Inevitably, the triumph offered the general extraordinary opportunities for self-publicity, besides its religious and military dimensions. Most triumphal celebrations included a range of popular games and entertainments for the Roman masses. </p><p>Most <a href="/wiki/Roman_festivals" title="Roman festivals">Roman festivals</a> were calendar fixtures, tied to the worship of particular deities. While the triumphal procession culminated at Jupiter's temple on the far end of the Via Sacra (sacred road) in the Roman Forum, the procession itself, attendant feasting, and public games promoted the general's status and achievement. By the <a href="/wiki/Roman_Republic#Late_Republic.28147.E2.80.9330_BC.29" title="Roman Republic">Late Republican</a> era, triumphs were drawn out and extravagant, motivated by increasing competition among the military-political adventurers who ran Rome's nascent empire. Some triumphs were prolonged by several days of public games and entertainments. From the <a href="/wiki/Principate" title="Principate">Principate</a> onwards, the triumph reflected the Imperial order and the pre-eminence of the Imperial family. The triumph was consciously imitated by medieval and later states in the <a href="/wiki/Royal_entry" title="Royal entry">royal entry</a> and other ceremonial events. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Background_and_ceremonies">Background and ceremonies</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Roman_triumph&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Background and ceremonies"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="The_vir_triumphalis">The <i>vir triumphalis</i></h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Roman_triumph&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: The vir triumphalis"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In Republican Rome, truly exceptional military achievement merited the highest possible honours, which connected the <i>vir triumphalis</i> ("man of triumph", later known as a <i>triumphator</i>) to Rome's mythical and semi-mythical past. In effect, the general was close to being "king for a day", and possibly close to divinity. He wore the regalia traditionally associated both with the ancient <a href="/wiki/Roman_monarchy" class="mw-redirect" title="Roman monarchy">Roman monarchy</a> and with the statue of <i>Jupiter Capitolinus</i>: the purple and gold "toga picta", laurel crown, red boots and, again possibly, the red-painted face of Rome's supreme deity. He was drawn in procession through the city in a four-horse chariot, under the gaze of his peers and an applauding crowd, to the <a href="/wiki/Temple_of_Jupiter_Optimus_Maximus" title="Temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus">temple of Capitoline Jupiter</a>. His spoils and captives led the way; his armies followed behind. Once at the Capitoline temple, he sacrificed two white oxen to <a href="/wiki/Jupiter_(mythology)" class="mw-redirect" title="Jupiter (mythology)">Jupiter</a>, and laid tokens of victory at the feet of Jupiter's statue, thus dedicating the triumph to the Roman Senate, people, and gods.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Triumphs were tied to no particular day, season, or religious festival of the <a href="/wiki/Roman_calendar" title="Roman calendar">Roman calendar</a>. Most seem to have been celebrated at the earliest practicable opportunity, probably on days that were deemed auspicious for the occasion. Tradition required that, for the duration of a triumph, every temple was open.

From the time of <a href="/wiki/Scipio_Africanus" title="Scipio Africanus">Scipio Africanus</a>, the triumphal general was linked (at least for historians during the Principate) to <a href="/wiki/Alexander_the_Great" title="Alexander the Great">Alexander</a> and the demi-god <a href="/wiki/Hercules" title="Hercules">Hercules</a>, who had laboured selflessly for the benefit of all mankind.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> His sumptuous triumphal chariot was bedecked with <a href="/wiki/Fascinus" title="Fascinus">charms</a> against the possible envy (<i><a href="/wiki/Invidia" title="Invidia">invidia</a></i>) and malice of onlookers.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In some accounts, a companion or <a href="/wiki/Servus_publicus" class="mw-redirect" title="Servus publicus">public slave</a> would remind him from time to time of his own mortality (a <i><a href="/wiki/Memento_mori" title="Memento mori">memento mori</a></i>).<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="The_procession">The procession</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Roman_triumph&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: The procession"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Rome's earliest "triumphs" were probably simple victory parades, celebrating the return of a victorious general and his army to the city, along with the fruits of his victory, and ending with some form of dedication to the gods. This is probably so for the earliest legendary and later semi-legendary triumphs of Rome's regal era, when the king functioned as Rome's highest magistrate and war-leader. As Rome's population, power, influence, and territory increased, so did the scale, length, variety, and extravagance of its triumphal processions. </p><p>The procession (<i>pompa</i>) mustered in the open space of the <a href="/wiki/Campus_Martius" title="Campus Martius">Campus Martius</a> (Field of Mars) probably well before first light. From there, all unforeseen delays and accidents aside, it would have managed a slow walking pace at best, punctuated by various planned stops en route to its final destination of the Capitoline temple, a distance of just under 4 km (2.48 mi). Triumphal processions were notoriously long and slow;<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> the longest could last for two or three days, and possibly more, and some may have been of greater length than the route itself.<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Some ancient and modern sources suggest a fairly standard processional order. First came the captive leaders, allies, and soldiers (and sometimes their families) usually walking in chains; some were destined for execution or further display. Their captured weapons, armour, gold, silver, statuary, and curious or exotic treasures were carted behind them, along with paintings, tableaux, and models depicting significant places and episodes of the war. Next in line, all on foot, came Rome's senators and magistrates, followed by the general's <a href="/wiki/Lictor" title="Lictor">lictors</a> in their red war-robes, their <a href="/wiki/Fasces" title="Fasces">fasces</a> wreathed in laurel, then the general in his four-horse chariot. A companion, or a public slave, might share the chariot with him or, in some cases, his youngest children. His officers and elder sons rode horseback nearby. His unarmed soldiers followed in togas and laurel crowns, chanting "io triumphe!" and singing ribald songs at their general's expense. Somewhere in the procession, two flawless white oxen were led for the sacrifice to Jupiter, garland-decked and with gilded horns. All this was done to the accompaniment of music, clouds of incense, and the strewing of flowers.<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Almost nothing is known of the procession's infrastructure and management. Its doubtless enormous cost was defrayed in part by the state but mostly by the general's loot, which most ancient sources dwell on in great detail and unlikely superlatives. Once disposed, this portable wealth injected huge sums into the Roman economy; the amount brought in by <a href="/wiki/Octavian" class="mw-redirect" title="Octavian">Octavian</a>'s triumph over Egypt triggered a fall in interest rates and a sharp rise in land prices.<sup id="cite_ref-15" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> No ancient source addresses the logistics of the procession: where the soldiers and captives, in a procession of several days, could have slept and eaten, or where these several thousands plus the spectators could have been stationed for the final ceremony at the Capitoline temple.<sup id="cite_ref-16" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="The_route">The route</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Roman_triumph&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: The route"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The following schematic is for the route taken by "some, or many" triumphs, and is based on standard modern reconstructions.<sup id="cite_ref-17" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Any original or traditional route would have been diverted to some extent by the city's many redevelopments and re-building, or sometimes by choice.

Pompey's issues for his three triumphs are typical. One is an <a href="/wiki/Aureus" title="Aureus">aureus</a> (a gold coin) that has a laurel-wreathed border enclosing a head which personifies Africa; beside it, Pompey's title "Magnus" ("The Great"), with <a href="/wiki/Lituus" title="Lituus">wand</a> and <a href="/wiki/Libation#Ancient_Rome" title="Libation">jug</a> as symbols of his <a href="/wiki/Augur" title="Augur">augury</a>.

A triumphal <a href="/wiki/Denarius" title="Denarius">denarius</a> (a silver coin) shows his three trophies of captured arms, with his augur's wand and jug.

A general who wanted a triumph would dispatch his request and report to the Senate. Officially, triumphs were granted for outstanding military merit; the state paid for the ceremony if this and certain other conditions were met – and these seem to have varied from time to time, and from case to case – or the Senate would pay for the official procession, at least. Most Roman historians rest the outcome on an open Senatorial debate and vote, its legality confirmed by one of the <a href="/wiki/Legislative_assemblies_of_the_Roman_Republic" class="mw-redirect" title="Legislative assemblies of the Roman Republic">people's assemblies</a>; the senate and people thus controlled the state's coffers and rewarded or curbed its generals. Some triumphs seem to have been granted outright, with minimal debate. Some were turned down but went ahead anyway, with the general's direct appeal to the people over the senate and a promise of public games at his own expense. Others were blocked or granted only after interminable wrangling.
