A "paean" is not a single composition but a type of Greek song or hymn, of which there were very many examples. Paeans were originally hymns to Apollo but were later addressed to other gods as well, typically those connected with healing. Paeans were also sung by the Greeks in combat, but not, it seems, originally or exclusively.<br>
<br>
<br>
victoria - victory<br>
palma - a palm (e.g. of victory)<br>
virtus - virtue, manliness<br>
Deus nobiscum - God with us, may (G/g)od be with us<br>
Adiuta... deus - God help (us)!<br>
Mars Ultor - Mars the Avenger<br>
triumphus imperatoris - the general's/emperor's triumph <p></p><i></i>
