Many of the wars of the Late Republic were largely civil conflicts.
There was, therefore, a tension between the traditional expectation
that triumphs should be celebrated for victories over foreign
enemies and the need of the great commanders to give full
expression to their prestige and charisma, and to legitimize their
power. Triumphs in the Age of Civil War rethinks the nature and the
character of the phenomenon of civil war during the Late Republic.
At the same time it focuses on a key feature of the Roman
socio-political order, the triumph, and argues that a commander
could in practice expect to triumph after a civil war victory if it
could also be represented as being over a foreign enemy, even if
the principal opponent was clearly Roman. Significantly, the civil
aspect of the war did not have to be denied. Carsten Hjort Lange
provides the first study to consider the Roman triumph during the
age of civil war, and argues that the idea of civil war as "normal"
reflects the way civil war permeated the politics and society of
the Late Roman Republic.
