{{dambigbox|the exultation of victory or success}}<br />
'''Triumph''' is the exultation of victory after a successful ending of a struggle or contest. The word derives from [[Latin]] ''triumphus'' meaning 'achievement, a success, procession for a victorious general or admiral,' and earlier ''triumpus'', probably via [[Etruscan]] from the original [[Greek]] ''thriambos'', a 'Hymn to Dionysus'. The verb is first recorded 1483.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
A Roman triumph was a [[civil religion|civil ceremony]] and religious [[rite]] of [[ancient Rome]], held to publicly honour the [[military]] commander ([[dux]]) of a notably successful foreign [[war]] or campaign and to display the glories of Roman victory. Only men of senatorial rank could perform a triumph and be a ''triumphator''. <br />
<br />
In order to receive a triumph, the ''dux'' must:<br />
# Win a significant victory over a foreign enemy, killing at least 5,000 enemy troops, and earn the title [[Imperator]]. <br />
# Be an elected [[magistratus|magistrate]] with the power of imperium, i.e. a [[consul]] or a [[praetor]]. <br />
# Bring the army home, signifying that the war was over and that the army was no longer needed. Of course this only applied to the Republican era when the army was a citizen army. By the imperial period, when the army was professional, the proper triumph was reserved for the emperor and his family. If a general was awarded a triumph by the emperor, he would march with a token number of his troops. <br />
# In the Republican period, the senate had to give approval for a triumph based on the above mentioned requirements. <br />
<br />
The ceremony consisted of a spectacular [[parade]], opened by the chiefs of conquered peoples (afterwards executed in the [[Mamertine Prison|Tullianum]]), followed by wagons of gold and other valuable spoils captured during the campaign (including slaves), musicians, dancers, placards drawn with scenes of the war, then came the victorious general at the head of his troops (in the late republic and imperial times it was only a token body of troops rather than the entire army). It was a concrete exhibit of the spoils brought to the patrimony of ''Senatus Populusque Romanus'' ([[S.P.Q.R.]]).<br />
<br />
The ''triumphator,'' his face and arms painted red, rode on an already ancient four wheeled car pulled by two white [[horse]]s. A [[Slavery|slave]] behind the ''triumphator'' held a [[Bay laurel|laurel]] [[crown (headgear)|crown]] over his head (not touching it). Notably, this slave had to repeat continuously ''[[Memento mori]]'' ('Remember thou art mortal.'). Some sources state that the slave would say; 'Respica te, hominem te memento' ('Look behind you, you are only a man.') The ceremony's origin, though shrouded by antiquity, perhaps derives from earlier [[Etruscans|Etruscan]] rituals. <br />
<br />
The parade followed a precise route in the streets of [[Rome]], starting outside the [[Servian Walls]] of the city, in the [[Campus Martius]] on the western bank of the [[Tiber]]. The ''triumphator'' would then cross the ''[[pomerium]]'' into the city through the ''[[Via Triumphalis]]'' (which centuries later was reopened as the current ''[[Via dei Fori Imperiali]]'' by [[Benito Mussolini]] so that he, too, could march in triumph) and travel along the [[Via Sacra]] into the [[Roman Forum|''Forum Romanum'']]. The triumph reached its climax at the Temple of [[Jupiter (god)|Jupiter Optimus Maximus]] on the [[Capitoline]], where the triumphing general offered [[Lauraceae|laurel]]s of victory to the god.<br />
<br />
To better celebrate the triumph, a monument was sometimes erected. This is the origin of the [[Arch of Titus]] and the [[Arch of Constantine]], not far from the [[Colosseum]], or perhaps near a battle site as is the case for the [[Tropaeum Traiani]]. Also, the monumental [[Meta Sudans]] was erected by the [[Flavian dynasty|Flavians]] to mark the point where the triumph route turned from the ''Via Triumphalis'' into the Via Sacra and the Forum.<br />
<br />
After the establishment of the [[Principate]], only members of the Imperial family were awarded with triumphs. Other citizens were awarded with ''Ornamenta triumphalia'' (triumphal regalia), so that the Imperial family could better keep hold on avenues to power and advancement.<br />
<br />
[[Belisarius|Flavius Belisarius]] was the last person to receive a triumph (ostensibly 'sitting in' for Emperor [[Justinian I]]), in recognition for his victory over the [[Vandals]]. It was held in [[Constantinople]].</div>imported>Meg Taylor
