He who loves fame considers another man's activity to be his own good, and he who loves pleasure, his own sensations. Marcus Aurelius. Meditations. Book 6.
Image: A reproduced panel from the Arch of Titus, 81 CE depicting the triumph of Titus, is carved in three-quarter view and has Titus riding a four-horse chariot (quadriga) and shows him being crowned by a personification of Victory. The goddess Roma stands in front, holding the bridle of one of the horses. The two figures to the right of the chariot are personifications of the people of Rome (naked torso) and the Senate (wearing a toga). Courtesy of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, L.A.
