Other ways to say “military glory”












1















It seems like there are only so many ways to describe a person's career in the military. We can say "military glory", "military prestige", "military reputation", but are there ways of describing this without using the word "military" over and over again?



I'm currently writing about the Roman world, where the military plays a huge role in a person's status. What are some other ways to refer to this idea of "military glory"?



Thanks!

  • Did this person have many glorious victories? Perhaps against the Gauls? You could list those victories. Just don't overdo it.

  • Hey there! I'm specifically talking about Augustus, who at this point, actually doesn't have that much military glory. So I talk about how other prominent leaders of the past have attained a lot of glory before becoming politically relevant, whereas Augustus still needs to work on that. Do you have any tips for this case?
