Hey all,
I'm writing a fairly important undergrad research paper about the Roman Triumph, and more specifically, the Triumphator. However, in my somewhat limited cache of sources, I've been unable to find anything concering the most basic prerequisite for the triumph, the commander being hailed as Imperator. I'd like to give a brief explanation of this in my paper, but I haven't a clue where to look. A brief explanation of what the meaning of this was and a reference would be much, much appreciated!
Edit: The sources I have used, which do include H.S. Versnel's Triumphus seem to pass over this, along with many other more basic aspects of the subject.
