Appears on family members (generals, governors, leaders) · pulls against Imperator · never on 21 of the cultures.

Despite his victories and the glory that this general brought to Rome, the Senate has denied him the honour of a triumph, citing dubious reasons. What greater shame exists than to be denied the laurel crown before Jupiter's temple when one's deeds merit such recognition?
