Adventus (ceremony)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other meanings, see Adventus.
The adventus was a ceremony in ancient Rome, in which an emperor was formally welcomed into a city either during a progress or after a military campaign, often (but not always) Rome. The term is also used to refer to artistic depicitions (usually in relief sculpture) of such ceremonies. Its 'opposite' is the profectio.
