      A triumph, in Ancient Rome, was accorded to a general who had defeated a major foe in a war, not just a single battle. In a triumph, the conquering general would ride through Rome on a chariot with his army, to the acclaim of the crowds.

      IKE WON THE WAR. ROME ITSELF WAS IN ALLIED HANDS. IT WAS RIGHT THERE, RIPE FOR THE TAKING!
