Abstract

In the first two centuries ad we see remarkable dynamics in how the emperors displayed their personal victoriousness by way of staging triumphs, assuming victory titles and accepting imperatorial acclamations: After very few triumphs in the decades leading up to the Flavians, Domitian and Trajan celebrated their images of capable military commanders and triumphant generals in ways previously unknown. After them, Hadrian and Antoninus Pius performed no triumphs at all and accepted but one imperatorial acclamation each, whereas Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus again stressed their triumphal achievements. This chapter locates these fluctuations in the context of other contemporary manifestations of charismatic leadership, in which similar dynamics can be observed, especially the ideologeme of the princeps as the caretaker of Italy and the Empire and of the princeps being part of a dynasty constituted by filial succession. I suggest that displaying triumphal victoriousness was one of the emperor’s deliberate strategies to outdo contemporary competitors and as such was meaningful in a socio-political system in which the monarch’s position was delicate and dependent upon acceptance.
