Chapter 28 Small Triumph and Fighting Fist (1)
The elements of agriculture are the elements of the universe, water, soil, air and sunshine
——Varo "On Agriculture"
"Oh, this is when Sizkus was trapped. General Triumph Lukuras used a big cart to pull the ship from the seashore to Lake Dacilites, carrying a hundred-man soldiers from the legion into the besieged city. In the end, these soldiers saved the huge city." Karabis's commentary was very skillful, and then he saw Kelly trot and came to the racing stadium and found him, "Okay, the triumph is about to begin, the master said, designate you as a guide, and the salary is different from that of others, five hundred drakemas!"
After hearing this, Karabis patted Paruma on the head and told him to either continue playing in the racecourse or to go home to help his adoptive mother Porti handle some housework, and then followed Kelly.
They arrived at the starting point of the triumphal style. On the outskirts of the Matius Cyberspace, six hundred soldiers were arranged in a neatly dressed in a neatly dressed dress. Lukulas was wearing a white background and purple robe, sitting on the gorgeous carriage, with ochre-red dye on his face. Next to the carriage was a parade composed of citizens, officials, alien spectators and senior prisoners. Karabis stood at the front of the queue, holding Lukulas's scepter, responsible for dispatching the entire triumphal style. They were from the colonel.
The field began to set out, and the twelve cavalrymen in full suits were wrapped in steel-forged armor, holding spears decorated with tassels, and straddled with saddles in gold, which made the children on both sides of the avenue and the arcade excited. Following behind the cavalry were forty slaves carrying huge portraits, which depicted scenes of Lukulas fighting in the East, and Karabis also followed this line.
Then there were ten Bendu chariots seized, and there were bright sickles on the axles, which rumbling, making the citizens who were surrounding and cheering were shocked - they wanted to know what it would be like to be cut by the sickles on the battlefield from such chariots that were driving at high speed.
Next, there are sixty captured Bendu and Armenian senior officials or nobles. They all said in advance that they had surrendered to Rome, so they did not have to be executed on the spot when passing through the ridge of Mount Villa. These people all smiled kindly and humblely, and looked at the Roman citizens who came to see them. Once the triumphal ended, they would settle in the city of Rome and live a life of basic food and clothing, and their descendants would automatically become Roman citizens.
The marching team behind made the Roman citizens exclaim even more - a series of vehicles pulling various huge bronze bows, which Lukulas seized in the naval battle, and it is said that there are as many as 110.
Behind them are thirty-six slaves and fifty-eight mules and horses, carrying pottery jars filled with gold and silver coins, with a total of one million and a large number of shields and armor. This means that Lukulas' foreign war did not bring huge wealth to the Senate and people of the Roman city, as criticized by political enemies.
Finally, a vehicle carrying a huge stone tablet was driven by. The inscription on the stone tablet was engraved with "Lucius Lisini Lukulas, who once funded Pompei's 350 Talent's gold and silver military pay in the war to clear the pirates. It has not been paid yet. I would like to erect the monument to commemorate it." This was discussed by Lukulas and Caesar in advance. There was a way to satirize the general Pompei who was at the peak of his life and jealous of the virtuous and capable.
At the end, Lukulas, who was sitting in the golden carriage, entered the public's vision majestic. At this time, the triumphal team had already passed through the valley between the junction of Paladin Mountain and the Karyan Mountain. The people who came to cheer were getting more and more dense. Lukulas waved to everyone, but there was a commotion in the team of six hundred soldiers - the soldiers sang songs to the citizens: "Tuna is a generous commander. We followed him for seven years, and he generously gave us nine chickpeas as reward!"
Hearing the soldiers' teasing songs, the citizens laughed loudly, and Lukuras hurriedly called Karabis: "Say to the soldiers, the reward afterwards increased to nine hundred drakma, and ask them to change the current lyrics..."
Then, the team was in a mighty way and passed through Mount Capitol. At the temple of the God of War on the mountain, the soldiers offered various weapons and armor seized like statues of gods. Then the team walked around the holy realm at the foot of the Paladin Mountains and finally arrived at the Roman Plaza. Lukulas got off the carriage and walked along the "holy road" of the square under the sprinkled mint petals. The final end point was the Temple of Jupiter, the highest authority in the Roman God Realm......
Until night, the Roman citizens lingered in the gladiatorial competitions and banquets held by Lukuras for them, but Karabis worked for a day as a guide. He sat on the steps in front of the newly completed Apollo Temple in the Grand Plaza. This small temple was built at Lukuras for the triumphant style to express his clan gods and also the protection of the Roman patron gods (one of them) for his victory. In fact, there was an old small temple dedicated to Apollo in the Grand Plaza, so Lukuras asked the craftsmen to expand the small temple as a base, making the whole building look like a "Russian doll".
Just as the Roman citizens who were still immersed in triumphal joy were still crowded in the square, surrounding the Bendu chariot or bronze bow just now, Karabis saw a pale middle-aged man holding a torch, standing in the middle of the square surrounded by a group of young people, shouting to the surrounding citizens: "Citizens, I am a member of parliament and your friend, Katilin! How spectacular the triumphal is today, but don't you know? Lukula
How much benefit did Sergei bring to Rome? What is exhibited today is just the tip of the iceberg. Xiaoya's fertile fields, beautiful female slaves, strong male slaves, countless gold and silver treasures, think about it. And the subsidy you received today is only one person, 200 Seths." Then he pointed his hand and pointed at Carabis sitting on the steps and shouted, "And that free man can get five hundred drachmas, which is equivalent to two thousand Seths!"
