What is Triumphal Procession

After Claudius' victory in Britain, he obtains Senate's permission to march into town. This triumphal procession passes through the Triumphal Gate, along the Sacred Way through the city. It consists of the Senate, trumpeters, spoils, flute-players, captured chiefs with the families, public slaves and twenty-four yeomen. Next comes Claudius and his children in a four-horse chariot, followed by Messalina in her carriage. Following the royal family are the winners of the Olive Crown, ranked officers, elephants, camels, the Heron King, Posides, the Roman cavalry and the Roman infantry. Veterans sing songs mocking Claudius while a cheering rabble trails after the official procession.
