Note 1677 — BOOK XV. THE NATURAL HISTORY OF THE FRUIT-TREES.
John Bostock translation
The ovation was a lesser triumph, at which the general entered the city not in a chariot, but on foot. In later times, however, the victor entered on horseback: and a wreath of myrtle, sometimes laurel, was worn by him. For further particulars as to the ovation, see c. 38 of the present Book.
