 THE TRIUMPH OF CAESAR [2]

Imperātor ipse cum urbem intrāret, undique laetō clāmōre multitūdinis salūtātus est. Stābat in currū aureō quem quattuor albī equī vehēbant. Indūtus togā pictā, alterā manū habēnās et lauream tenēbat, alterā eburneum scēptrum. Post eum servus in currū stāns auream corōnam super caput eius tenēbat. Ante currum miserrimī captīvī, rēgēs prīncipēsque superātārum gentium, catēnīs vīnctī, prōgrediēbantur; et vīgintī quattuor līctōrēs laureatās fascīs ferentēs et signiferī currum Caesaris comitābantur. Conclūdit agmen multitūdō captīvōrum, quī, in servitūtem redāctī, dēmissō vultū, vīnctīs bracchiīs, sequuntur; quibuscum veniunt longissimō ōrdine mīlitēs, etiam hī praedam vel insignia mīlitāria ferentēs.

Caesar cum Capitōlium ascendisset, in templō Iovī Capitōlīnō sacra fēcit. Simul captivōrum quī nōbilissimī erant, abductī in carcerem, interfectī sunt. Sacrīs factīs Caesar dē Capitōliō dēscendit et in forō mīlitibus suīs honōrēs mīlitārīs dedit eīsque pecūniam ex bellī praedā distribuit.

Hīs omnibus rēbus cōnfectīs, Pūblius Caesarem valēre iussit et quam celerrimē ad vīllam contendit ut patrem mātremque salūtāret.

Dē rēbus gestīs P. Cornēlī Lentulī hāctenus.

You need to give two pieces of information about the words in bold as they are used in the text.

The commander himself, when he was entering the city, was greeted from all sides by the joyful shouting of the crowd. He was standing in a golden chariot which four white horses were drawing. Dressed in a decorated toga, in one hand he held the reins and a laurel wreath, and in the other an ivory sceptre. Behind him, a slave standing in the chariot was holding a golden crown above his head.

In front of the chariot the most wretched captives, kings and chiefs of the conquered peoples, bound in chains, were moving forward; and twenty-four lictors carrying laurel-wreathed fasces and standard-bearers accompanied Caesar’s chariot. A multitude of captives brings up the rear of the column, who, having been reduced to slavery, follow with downcast expression and bound arms; along with them come soldiers in a very long line, these too carrying spoils or military insignia.

When Caesar had ascended the Capitoline, he performed sacred rites in the temple to Jupiter Capitolinus. At the same time, the most noble of the captives were led away into prison and were killed. When the rites had been completed, Caesar descended from the Capitoline and in the forum gave military honours to his soldiers and distributed money to them from the spoils of war.

After all these things had been completed, Publius ordered Caesar farewell and hurried as quickly as possible to the villa in order to greet his father and mother.

Thus far the account of the deeds of Publius Cornelius Lentulus.
