‘The glory of Alexander and Philip made spoil by Roman arms’: Diodoros, Livy and Plutarch on Macedonian spoils entering Rome, September 167 BCE

Research output: Contribution to conference › Paper › Academic

Abstract

This contribution focuses on the triumphal procession of Aemilius Paullus after the Third Macedonian War, 167 BCE. The various spoils presented to the Roman public are all connected with the Macedonian monarchy of Perseus, the last king of the Antigonid Dynasty. They comprise Macedonian arms and armor, court objects, votive offerings, and human captives. The triumph offers a clear case of objects entering Rome in a conspicuous, meaningful way through an orchestrated, ritual public event.
