      abstract = {The history of the Roman Republic was a military success  story. Texts, monuments and rituals commemorated Rome's  victories, and this emphasis on its own triumphs formed a  basis for the Roman nobility's claim to leadership.  However, the Romans also suffered numerous heavy defeats  during the Republic. This study is the first to  comprehensively examine how Rome's defeats at the hands of  the Celts, Samnites, and Carthaginians were explained and  interpreted in the historical culture of the Republic and  early imperial period. What emerges is a specifically Roman  culture of dealing with defeats, which helped the Romans to  find meaning in the stories of their failures and to assign  them a place in their own past. Simon Lentzsch is a  research assistant at the Chair of Ancient History at the  University of Cologne. This book is a translation of an  original German edition. The translation was done with the  help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the  service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done  primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read  stylistically differently from a conventional translation.},
