Editing Lucius Tarquinius Priscus (section)

=== Shows of triumph ===
Tarquinius was the first Roman ruler to ever celebrate a Roman triumph. According to Florus, Tarquin celebrated his triumphs in the Etruscan fashion, riding a golden chariot drawn by four horses,<ref name="EB1911">{{Cite EB1911|wstitle=Tarquinius Priscus, Lucius|volume=26|pages=430–431}}</ref> while wearing a gold-embroidered [[toga]] and the tunica palmata, a tunic upon which palm-leaves were embroidered.  He also introduced other Etruscan insignia of civilian authority and military distinction: the [[sceptre]] of the king; the [[trabea]], a purple garment that varied in form, but was perhaps most often used as a mantle; the [[fasces]] carried by the [[lictor]]s; the [[curule seat|curule chair]]; the [[toga#Varieties|toga praetexta]], later worn by various magistrates and officials; the rings worn by [[Roman Senate|senators]]; the [[paludamentum]], a cloak associated with military command; and the [[phalera (military decoration)|phalera]], a disc of metal worn on a soldier's breastplate during parades, or displayed on the standards of various military units.<ref name="Florus1.5.6">[[Florus]], ''Epitoma de Tito Livio bellorum omnium annorum DCC'', I, 5.6.</ref>  Strabo reports that Tarquin introduced Etruscan sacrificial and divinatory rites, as well as the [[Roman tuba|tuba]], a straight horn used chiefly for military purposes.<ref>Strabo, ''Geographia'', V, 2.2</ref> As a result, most classical Roman symbols for war harken back to his time as king.
