Book
Soft cover. Condition: New. 8vo (23.5 cm), viii, 434 pp. Publisher's laminated wrappers. "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 most glamorous prisoners, as well as the booty he?d captured, from enemy ships and precious statues to plants and animals from the conquered territory. 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? Or when Pompey?s elephants got stuck trying to squeeze through an arch? Or when exotic or pathetic prisoners stole the general?s show? 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?? (from the publisher's description).
