For over a thousand years, Roman conquerors returning from the wars, enjoyed the honor of a triumph, a tumultuous parade.

In the procession came trumpeters and musicians and strange animals from the conquered territories together with carts laden with treasure and captured armaments.

The conqueror rode in a triumphal chariot the dazed prisoners walking in chains before him. Sometimes, his children, robed in white stood with him in the chariot, or rode the trace horses.

A slave stood behind the conqueror holding a golden crown and whispering in his ear a warning that all glory is fleeting.

Patton, 1970
