His parents belonged to the Roman aristocracy, so they lived in a beautiful house almost as luxurious as a palace, on top of Palatine Hill. Flavius went to the finest school where he was treated like a young prince and he had a new personal slave or \"pedagogue\" to carry his schoolbooks. He also felt his horse was the best in Rome.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToday, the proudest day of his life, young Flavius was riding that fine horse in the Triumph-a procession to honor his father who was returning as a conquering general from the wars in Greece. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFlavius did not know about the destruction that went with conquering or about the harsh treatment slaves could receive. But after his new Greek slave, Ariphron, becomes a friend as well as his pedagogue, Flavius sees the other side of conquering and discovers a new kind of triumph.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith 57 pages of black and white illustrations by Cedric Rogers, and the same pagination as the 1955 edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe father in this story was the famed Roman statesman and general, Lucius Mummius, born around 200-190 BC. He earned the surname Achaicus in honor of his victory over the Achaean League (a confederation of city-states) in Greece in 146 BC, the year this story takes place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Purple House Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50779531641064,"sku":"9798888180891","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0810\/9539\/3512\/files\/imageloader_cf8bbe0c-3e7a-4db9-8955-cee95e757bce.jpg?v=1790262222","url":"https:\/\/shop.kuumba.app\/products\/a-triumph-for-flavius-1","provider":"Kuumba","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
