Altar of Victory
Okay, so you know sometimes when you do really well at something, you get a prize or a trophy? Well, back in ancient Rome, they had something like that too. But instead of a trophy, they had a big statue called the Altar of Victory.
This statue was built to celebrate when the Roman soldiers won battles against their enemies. It was very special to the people of Rome because they believed that the goddess Victory helped them win their battles. So, they had this big statue made to show how much they appreciated her help.
The Altar of Victory was made of gold and silver and it was really shiny. It was also very big, almost as big as a house, and it had lots of detailed carvings on it. People would come to the Altar of Victory and say thank you to the goddess Victory for helping them win their battles, and they would give her gifts or sacrifices.
Later on, some people didn't like the Altar of Victory and they tried to get rid of it. They thought it was too connected to the old religion of Rome and they wanted to change things. But the people who liked the Altar of Victory fought back and it became a big argument.
So, that's a little bit about the Altar of Victory. It was like a special trophy for the Roman soldiers, and it was also a way for people to say thank you to a powerful goddess they believed helped them win their battles.
