One of the greatest glories in ancient Rome was when a general made a triumphal entry through the streets of the capital of the Roman Empire and was awarded the highest military honor, a monumental desecration in which the authorities and crowds celebrated the triumph over an external enemy.
For a general and his army to receive a mere reward, two conditions must be met: if he killed the enemy in a just war, and who killed at least 5000 members of the rival army in battle, as it was in that historical context, this does not sound like anything good today.
The glorious celebration began on the Champ de Mars, they entered Rome through the Arc de Triomphe and then went to the Capitol, the religious and political seat, where they paid homage to the god Jupiter, where the victorious army displayed the fruits of their triumph: cloths from the Riquesas, weapons of the enemy, captured prisoners, statues and paintings as signs of the gangs.
The central figure was the person of the victorious general who was at home that day, his popularity and power opaque to the emperor, a day of celebration, the “king’s day”, in which he was celebrated in Rome and humiliated by the enemy. purple, bearing a laurel wreath on which was painted red, similar to the statue of Jupiter in the Capitol. Before so many honors, the wish was for the general to be ensoberbeciese, aprovechara on the farm and grave of the throne of the highest authority.
Without the embargo, the general and his army received the honor they deserved. Before this pilgrim, the emperor Julius Caesar Augustus made his arrangements and ordered that the exclave case fastened on the general’s shoulder should constantly whisper to him and oído: “Respice post te! Hominem te memento!” (Mira hacia atrás! ¡Recuerda que solo eres un hombre!), then he paused and said: “Memento mori, memento mori” (Recuerda que debes morir, recuerda que debes morir), so the general was clearly amazed by the passage of triumph and human frailty.
The emperor makes us think about the people who hold me and envy others, who feel that they have a shadow with their talent and good work, they know how to test the abilities of others to make the whole world shine, and if the mayor is well known, it is much more intelligent than going with fear and heaven. Anyone who knows how to fulfill his task should never be seen as blackmail or as a rival, he should simply be given his place, “honor to someone who deserves honor”.
A victorious general may express to those who wish to express themselves that to his soldiers they feel special, superior, and indispensable, absorbed in the burden or burden, forgetting that they have companions to march with them, and that their posts or triumphs very well depend on their “army.”
There are many newcomers who can only clap and shout live. How much damage has been done! How many “exclavos” does!, those sincere friends who speak the truth, who are in reality and avoid those who temporarily occupy the place and travel through the clouds. Let’s not forget that everything is temporary.
May the reader gain more insight from your brilliant reasoning.
