### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Stunning, an encyclopedia of Roman history
  

*by C***K on Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2011*

Mary Beard rightly chairs the Classics Department at Cambridge University. This work on the history of Roman triumphs should more properly be described as the ancient psychology behind the hundreds of types of triumphs across a thousand years and scores of cultures. I am stunned that one person has enough knowledge to commit this work to paper in a coherent and enjoyable manner. You will be best served if you have a working knowledge of Roman history because Ms. Beard moves quickly and expects much from her readers.She essentially deconstructs a celebration by the victorious general and, although its' origins are lost to history, handles the Etruscan roots and the eventual Christian hijacking of the ceremony with a keen eye and an even hand. Her sources are almost exclusively the ancient historians themselves. Although I went into the book with the cartoon version of the slave whispering to the general "remember you are only a man" and the idea of booty and prisoners being displayed in a parade, I came away with what I was seeking. An education. The Roman Triumph was the vehicle to go inside the minds of the ancients, as best as possible. Once there the military, practical, religious, petty personal, and propaganda values of the Triumph become much more clear. You will be reading the writings of a mind of the first order. If you are a classics scholar, I am sure you can take issue with this or that idea she proposes throughout the book; but if you are a regular Roman history reader, you have just struck gold.

This must be the definitive study of the Roman triumphs.  Scholarly, and yet engrossing an entertaining.

For Mary Beard, Romans are real people. I like that immensely. A monumentally interesting and appealing read.
