The barbarians were adapting themselves to Roman ways, becoming accustomed to hold markets, and meeting in peaceful assemblies. Under careful (Roman) supervision they were forgetting their old customs gradually and without really noticing. Because of this they were not disturbed by their changing lifestyle, and were becoming different without knowing it.CASSIUS DIO HISTORIES 56.18

At the gate, the Senate meets the Triumphator (i.e. the victorious general). This man travels in the turret-like triumphal chariot, with his male offspring (if any) alongside him on horseback. The Triumphator wears the traditional purple robe of Jupiter, and has his face painted red, in emulation of that god’s most ancient statue. To make sure that the distinction between emulating Jupiter and being Jupiter is clear, a slave stands holding a laurel wreath over the conqueror’s head, and mutters quietly, ‘Remember, you are only a man’.

Processional route of a Roman triumphFrom the temple of Bellona to the Porta Triumphalis,
Through the city to the Circus Flamininus,
From there to the Circus Maximus,
On to the Roman Forum and the Sacred Way,
And finally up the Capitoline Hill,
Finishing at the Temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus.
