There were many celebrations throughout the year in ancient Rome. In the winter (December or January) there was the feast of Compitalia, a feast and celebration of purification for the coming year. Also in January was the feast of Agonalia, the festival to the god Janus. Carmentalia also occurred in January and was a festival celebrating the goddess Carmentis. Throughout the year, the Ides of months (13th or 15th) were celebrated as festivals to the god Jupiter.

Answer 3

A simple battle victory was celebrated in the camp or fort, with the legate giving his men a speech of congratulations and presenting their awards. Of course the officers would have celebrated with a banquet with the best food and drink available. The winning of a war was celebrated the same basic way in camp, but then possibly with a triumph or ovation at Rome with all the attendant pomp and ceremony.

Answer 4

The Romans had celebrations for just about everything. Some were private, such weddings and birthdays, others were public, such as a festival honoring some god or past event. Many of these public festivals were accompanied by athletic events, theater productions, chariot races and sometimes gladiatorial bouts. When a general celebrated a triumph there was always a public feast.

Answer 5

An important military victory was celebrated by the triumph. This was a semi-religious Roman tradition, where the triumphing general paraded down the Via Sacria, or sacred street, with his troops and the spoils and prisoner of war. The parade ended at the temple of Jupiter where the general dedicated his spoils to the god. There were usually gifts to the Roman people and public banquets.
