suspended while that of the decemviri lasted. MILITARY TRIBUNES were created B. C. 444. They had consular power, and might be chosen six in number, three from the Patricians, and three from the Plebeians. They were abolished when the Plebeians became eligible to the consulship.

TRIUMPH, the reception given to Roman generals upon their return from successful expeditions. The cavalcade was led by musicians with crowns upon their heads; then followed chariots containing plans of the cities and countries subdued; these were followed by the spoils taken from the enemy; then came the vanquished kings, princes, or generals; after them the officers of the conquering troops, with crowns upon their heads; then the triumphal chariot, in which was the conqueror, dressed in a purple robe embroidered with gold, wearing a crown, bearing in one hand a laurel branch, and in the other a truncheon; flowers were strewed in the way as the chariot passed; the musicians playing martial strains in praise of the conqueror, while the people shouted "Io triumphe." The chariot was followed by the senate dressed in white robes, and the procession was closed by the priests and their officers and utensils, and a white ox intended for the principal sacrifice. In this order, they proceeded through the triumphal gate, or arch, along the Via Sacra to the capitol where the victims were slain. Games were celebrated in the public places, and the whole city was one scene of festivity and rejoicing. The OVATION was a lesser triumph, in which the general entered the city on foot, being met only by the knights and gentlemen, not the senators; he wore only the consular robe, bore a laurel in his hand and a wreath of myrtle on his head.

TRIUMVIRI, three magistrates at Rome invested with equal power, to govern the state. The first triumvirate was formed by Julius Cæsar, Pompey, and Crassus, B. C. 60; the second, by Octavius, Antony, and Lepidus, B. C. 43, Tab. X.

TROY, a celebrated city, the capital of Troas, a country of Phrygia in Asia Minor. It was founded by Scamander, father-in-law of Teucer, B. C. 1546, Tab. III. The daughter of Teucer married Dardanus, from whom the country was called Dardania, Ilium, from Illus, and Troy, from Tros. Troy was famous for its ten years siege by the Greeks, beginning B. C. 1193, and ending with the destruction of the city by the latter, B. C. 1184, Tab. IV.

VESTALS, priestesses of Vesta, whose worship was very early introduced into Italy, and Æneas is supposed to have chosen the first Vestals. They were formed by Numa Pompilius into the fifth of the eight classes into which he divided the ministers of religion. Their office was to preserve the sacred fire upon the altar of Vesta.

ZAMA, the battle of, fought near a town of that name, of Numidia, in Africa, and gained by Publius Scipio, (thence named Africanus) over Hannibal, which finished the second Punic War, B. C. 202, Tab. IX.
