THE TRIUMPHS OF THE ROMAN EMPERORS
The article is devoted to the history of the triumphs of the Roman Empire. The author considers the triumph as one of the ways to sacralization the imperial power and the personality of the ruler himself. Triumphal processions become an important part of the mechanism for the transfer of power by inheritance. The analysis of a large number of epigraphic sources traces the evolution of triumphal processions to the solemn entrance and the church liturgy.
