In his triumphal procession there were two-horse car- riages laden with gold or with ornaments, also the couch of one king and the throne and scepter of another, and the image of Pompey ten feet high made of solid gold. There were, too, vessels of gold and precious stones, three golden statues, thirty-three crowns adorned with pearls, a pearl-decked altar, and an image of Pompey himself made all in pearls. And these were only a few of the wonders of that triumphal procession. It was a rich land... from which one general could col- lect so much spoil. Romans were glad to go as soldiers or officers or merchants to such a country, hop- ing to return laden with wealth. Thus Rome Ro ° mans got a taste for luxury. Her women became fond of jewels, her men loved expensive banquets in ten or twelve courses with strange foods from distant parts of the world. Her houses were hung with expensive Eastern tapestry and rugs. The rooms were made sweet with burning perfumes from the East. Dozens of slaves filled the houses of the wealthy and followed their masters on the street.
