Title: Plutarch versus Dionysius on the first triumph
Authors: Weaire, Gavin
Keywords: Plutarch;Dionysius of Halicarnassus;Life of Romulus;Triumphs
Issue Date: 2010
Publisher: International Plutarch Society
Abstract: Plutarch’s account of the establishment of the triumph by Romulus should not be taken at face value, for it contains parody of the version in Dionysius of Halicarnassus. Plutarch’s disagreement with Dionysius here further refl ects a more fundamental disagreement between the two writers about the legitimate uses of spectacle and fear as political tools.
