Acknowledgments
A book long in the making incurs many debts. I am extremely grateful that
John North, my fellow explorer of Roman religion over the last thirty years,
was able to read—and improve—the whole in typescript. Others commented,
critically and generously, on large or small chunks: Clifford Ando, Corey
Brennan, Christopher Kelly, and Joyce Reynolds. Across the years I have been
advised, helped, reassured, and informed on triumphal matters large and small
by Peter Carson, Robin Cormack, Lindsay Duguid, Miriam Griffin, John
Henderson, Richard Hewlings, the late Keith Hopkins, Tom Laqueur, Paul
Millett, Helen Morales, Stephen Oakley, Ida Östenberg, Clare Pettitt, Michael
Reeve, Frederik Vervaet, Terry Volk, Andrew Wallace-Hadrill—and many au-
diences on whom I have inflicted my triumphal concerns. Emma Buckley was
a tower of strength as a research assistant in the final stages. Other students
and friends who helped out then include Nick Dodd, Suzy Jones, Kristina
Meinking, Marden Nichols, and Libby Wilson. It has once again been a plea-
sure to work with Harvard University Press. My thanks go especially to Susan
Wallace Boehmer, David Foss, Gwen Frankfeldt, Margaretta Fulton, Mary
Kate Maco, Alex Morgan, Sharmila Sen, William Sisler, and Ian Stevenson—as
well as to the astute referees for the Press, whose comments were enormously
helpful on the very last lap and on more than one point saved me from myself.

This project was made possible thanks to the award of a Senior Research Fel-
lowship by the Leverhulme Trust (a brave and generous charitable institution
to which I have several times been indebted). As ever, I have been supported in
more ways than I can count by the Faculty of Classics in Cambridge and by
Newnham College; I cannot think of better places to spend a working life. The
later chapters were drafted while enjoying the splendid hospitality and research
facilities of the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles. My own research on
the triumph began with an essay, “The Triumph of the Absurd,” in C. Edwards
and G. Woolf, eds., Rome the Cosmopolis (Cambridge: Cambridge University
Press, 2003); some of that material is reworked here.
