Oh the wit, Robert! Just kidding, it was funny, I laughed.
And, Jasper, I know that mostly the Triumphs were only for the imperial household after Augustus, but what I'm hoping to find is a trend reducing the number of triumphs celebrated by non-imperials as the principate goes on. Agricola gets a triumph in Tacitus, and I think perhaps someone else got one under Vespasian? I'm not sure yet, but I shall find out.
