There was, therefore, a tension between the traditional expectation that triumphs should be celebrated for victories over foreign enemies and the need of the great commanders to give full expression to their prestige and charisma, and to legitimize their power.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eTriumphs in the Age of Civil War\u003c\/i\u003e rethinks the nature and the character of the phenomenon of civil war during the Late Republic. At the same time it focuses on a key feature of the Roman socio-political order, the triumph, and argues that a commander could in practice expect to triumph after a civil war victory if it could also be represented as being over a foreign enemy, even if the principal opponent was clearly Roman. Significantly, the civil aspect of the war did not have to be denied.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCarsten Hjort Lange provides the first study to consider the Roman triumph during the age of civil war, and argues that the idea of civil war as \"normal\" reflects the way civil war permeated the politics and society of the Late Roman Republic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carsten Hjort Lange\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350060577\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350060579\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Continnuum-3PL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/25\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.07lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.72d","brand":"Carsten Hjort Lange","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44064350306559,"sku":"9781350060579","price":47.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8f2f0fdf-0beb-439b-b13f-f308663f45f8.jpg?v=1685394961","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/triumphs-in-the-age-of-carsten-hjort-lange-9781350060579","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
