Possible definitions for triumphal


triumph
Ancient Roman ritual procession honoring a general who had won a major battle and killed at least 5,000 enemy. Senators and magistrates were followed by sacrificial animals, captured loot, and captives in chains. The general, in a purple-and-gold tunic, rode in a chariot, holding a laurel branch in his right hand and an ivory scepter in his left, while a slave held a golden crown over his head. Lastly came the soldiers, singing songs, which were sometimes ribald. Under the empire, only the emperor and members of his family celebrated triumphs.
