The general celebrating the ovation did not enter the city on a Biga (a two-horsed Chariot ) pulled by two White Horse s, as generals celebrating triumphs did, but instead walked in the Toga Praetexta of a Magistrate (a toga with a Purple stripe, unlike generals in triumphs, who wore the Toga Picta that was totally purple and adorned with golden stars). The honored general also wore a Wreath of Myrtle (sacred to Venus ) upon his brow, rather than the triumphal wreath of Laurel . The Roman Senate did not precede the general, nor did soldiers usually participate in the procession. Perhaps the most famous ovation in history is that which Marcus Licinius Crassus celebrated after his victory of the Third Servile War . Ovation is also the name of two loosly-associated subscription television channels dedicated to the fine arts, found in the U.S. and Australia.
Ovation is also a guitar maker. See Ovation Guitar . ''See also'': Standing Ovation |
