"For over a thousand years Roman conquerors returning from the wars enjoyed the honor of triumph, a tumultuous parade.
In the procession came trumpeteers, musicians...
and strange animals from conquered territories...
together with carts laden with treasure and captured armaments.
The conquerors 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." - George C. Scott as Gen. George S. Patton
