Roman Slave Owner

Chapter 170 Triumph

Fortunately, he is thick-skinned enough, so he will tell the whole story about his relationship with them. After hearing Li Wei's experience, Yulia and the others were so worried that their eyes were red and they almost shed tears.

In the end, Li Wei kept comforting them, and their emotions stabilized.

"Thank you for saving Li Wei, you are always welcome here."

Julia said meaningfully.

"Thank you so much, we still have to rely on Li Wei for protection during this time."

Emilia said, and after she finished speaking, she glanced at Li Wei resentfully, but she didn't expect him to be such a person.

Li Wei smiled awkwardly. In fact, he was relatively restrained. Those Roman knights and nobles were many times more promiscuous than him.

Several people had a dinner together, did some indescribable things in the evening, and devoted themselves to the preparations for the triumphal ceremony the next day.

Perhaps Su La and the Senate were extremely dissatisfied with him and only gave him one day to prepare.

But these hours are enough. On the third day, the sky has just become bright.

The God of War Mars Square outside the city has already gathered a large number of people.

The Triumph is divided into the Grand Triumph and the Small Triumph, and all the Triumphs are on foot or on horseback.

What Li Wei held was a grand triumphal ceremony. The grand triumphal ceremony started from Mars Square outside the city, and ended after a parade to the Jupiter god on Capitol Hill, and finally killed a prisoner of war. Worship to the gods.

This ceremony originated from the Etruscans who fought against the Romans. Only when they win a decisive victory over foreign enemies and kill more than 5,000 enemies, and bring back at least one team of captives, can they be eligible to hold a triumphal ceremony. The person who holds it must Possess supreme command.

In fact, there were many triumphal ceremonies held in the Republic era. From 220 BC to 70 BC, a total of 100 triumphal ceremonies were held, basically two triumphal ceremonies were held in three years.

The reason why Li Wei's triumph is so eye-catching is because he is young, only 19 years old, and because he has no supreme command.

It is precisely because of various controversies that it has attracted many people to watch.

Yulia and Hibel looked at Li Wei excitedly. At this time, Li Wei was wearing a red cloak and sitting in a gilded carriage pulled by four white horses.

Behind them are soldiers ready to go, and in front of them are some prisoners of war and captured items.

Some of the war elephants caused many people to scream. Almost everyone in Rome had heard of war elephants, but very few actually saw them. Unexpectedly, Li Wei captured so many war elephants at once.

On the other hand, Li Wei looked full of vigor and vigor, and today will surely be a unique triumph.

"It's time to start."

A senior elder said with a dark face.

Li Wei didn't care about it on the surface, but he was secretly vigilant in his heart. It seemed that many people were dissatisfied with him.

Maybe it's time for me to keep a low profile for a while.

A loud bugle sounded, and the queue of prisoners in the front row moved forward slowly.

Iabas followed behind a Roman soldier holding a wooden sign with a dark face. The wooden sign of the Roman soldier stated his identity-King of Numidia.

In addition, his wife and children are all in the captive queue.

Behind them are some Numidian nobles, tribal chiefs, some soldiers, war elephants, expensive spoils and so on.

Looking at Iabas and the Numidian nobles, the Roman civilians let out various cheers and boos.

As for the war elephants and lions, let them make all kinds of screams.

Just near the gate of the city, the three sisters of Claudia were watching all this among the crowd.

Two of them were dressed in gorgeous clothes, and the other was wearing the costume of a Vesta virgin. The other audience looked at the Vesta virgin in awe, and automatically gave them a seat.

"Sister, look at Li Wei, who is young and handsome, and so capable of fighting. It would be great if he could marry me."

Claudia said with a nympho on her face.

"It's a pity he doesn't like us."

Big Claudia also had resentment on her face. They were so obvious at the beginning, but Li Wei was still unmoved, and obviously refused.

"It doesn't matter. If you don't want to marry us, can we be his lover? Presumably he won't object."

Claudia smiled.

"Be careful, there are so many people here, don't be overheard. And you are all engaged, can't you be more solemn?"

Little Claudius said with a speechless face.

"knew."

At this time, Li Wei's carriage happened to pass by, and after seeing the three sisters of Claudia, he smiled and greeted, which caused a burst of cheers from Claudia and her sister, and Li Wei quickly turned his face to other directions in fright.

Pompey looked at all this with a look of jealousy, and he and Li Wei were also listed as Roman twins.

But Li Wei's achievements far surpassed him. Not only did he defeat more enemy troops than him, but he also won a triumphant honor at the age of 19.

He was also hailed as the only philosopher in Rome by Plato's director Philo, who was both civil and military.

Pompey has been chasing honor crazily all his life. In order to obtain the honor of triumph, he did not hesitate to turn against Sulla. Later, he tore apart his face with Luculus in order to command the army to the east alone. After Caesar won greater honor, he later chose to fight with Caesar went to war, which shows how strong his jealousy is.

At this time, Pompey could no longer hide the jealousy in his heart. He didn't want to be crushed by Li Wei, and he must make his honor surpass Li Wei.

"Do you know what I heard in the crowd just now? Some people say that Li Wei is the most shining of the twin stars of Rome. He is not afraid of power, and he dared to contradict Sulla."

At some point, Crassus squeezed in with a few guards and said.

"Are you here to laugh at me?"

Pompey stared at him coldly and said.

The meaning of Crassus' provocation is so obvious that anyone can hear it.

Crassus smiled and stopped talking.

It is enough to mention some things, but it is not good to talk too much.

Since the capture of Rome, Crassus bought too many expensive assets in Rome at low prices.

This made his strength soar, but what made him depressed was that Li Wei bought more assets than him, because Li Wei was richer.

Many of his fancy assets were cut off by Li Wei, which made him itch with hatred.

So after seeing Pompey, he couldn't help but provoke him.

The line of captives and trophies finally passed before their eyes. Li Wei found Pompey and Crassus among the crowd. He waved to them, and Pompey tried to squeeze out a difficult smile.

Crassus showed a harmless smile, and at the same time blew loudly at Li Wei.

At this time, Pompey and Crassus suddenly felt that the surroundings became quiet, leaving only the sound of orderly footsteps.

They looked back, and the first thing they saw were three officers holding military flags.

Rows of soldiers behind them wore silver masks and walked towards this side with neat and strange steps.

Their steps were sonorous and powerful. When they walked, the soles of their feet were parallel to the ground, and then they landed almost at the same time, forming a heavy stamping sound.
