Author: KÜNZL, E.,
Title: Der römische Triumph. Siegesfeiern im antiken Rom.
Description: Beck, München, 1988. 171p. Paperback. ?All you ever wanted to know about Roman triumphs but never liked to ask? This splendid book, like the Roman triumphal procession itself, takes us on a sinuous but inexorable course from the Campus Marius to the Capitol. On the way we are treated to a full account of the origins and development of the triumph and a detailed treatment of that part of Rome?s topography relevant to the triumphal procession. (?) Following the established and successful Beck ?semi-popular? format the book has plenty of illustrations but also includes footnotes, bibliography and index. With this framework K. has given a vivid account of the Roman trump that is at once lively and readable as well as being a serious piece of scholarship, free from the misleading false certainties that can creep into works of this kind.? (RALPH JACKSON in The Journal of Roman Studies, 1990, pp.223-24). From the library of Professor Carl Deroux.
