"In the Roman Republic, generals requested triumphs, but it was the Senate that granted them—only if a victory met a series of conditions. The win had to be a major battle (with a minimum of 5,000 enemy casualties ) that ended a war. While the Senate deliberated, the general would wait outside the city gates."
The point of view of the author above is best supported by the claim that:
In an attempt of checks and balances, the general requests a triumph by telling the senate to deliberate and then vote in favor of one
In an attempt of checks and balances, the general must wait outside the city gates while all Patricians vote on allowing a triumph
In an attempt of checks and balances, the senate will grant a triumph if the general won major battles that ended a war regardless of how many enemies died during those battles
In an attempt of checks and balances, it is the senate that allows a general to receive a triumph only after major battles are won by that general to directly end a war.

"In the Pontic triumph, Suetonius reported how in addition to the placards showing key battle scenes, a wagon was decorated with three simple words: Veni, vidi, vici (I came, I saw, I conquered). It was believed the phrase referred to the speed with which his forces won...
In addition to the processions, He also gave a magnanimous sum of 400 sesterces to every citizen, distributed food, and staged gladiatorial combats and athletic events."
The point of view of the author above is:
That a Roman triumph celebrated key battles won by the Romans while also providing food and money to the Roman people
That a Roman triumph only benefited the leader as he was able to sit in a golden chariot with slaves and place cards that celebrated the Roman leader
That a Roman triumph was not an important celebration in Rome
That a Roman triumph only required a few men and little planning; therefore making it an inexpensive event in Rome

The military general and eventual dictator celebrated in the Roman triumph described above was:
Alexander the Great
Emperor Hammurabi
Octavian later given the title of Augustus
Julius Caesar
The illustration above best depicts:

"By the time the Colosseum opened in 80 A.D., gladiator games had evolved from freewheeling battles to the death into a well-organized blood sport. If a gladiator was seriously wounded or threw down his weapon in defeat, his fate was left in the hands of the spectators. In contests held at the Colosseum, the emperor had the final say. it was typically accompanied by ear-piercing cries of either “let him go!” or “slay him!” If the crowd willed it, the victorious gladiator would deliver by stabbing his opponent between the shoulder blades or through the neck and into the heart."
The point of view of the text above is:
The crowd solely determined the fate of the gladiator by shouting either "let him go!" or "slay him!"
At the Colosseum the gladiator game continued until each battle naturally occurred in a death or a draw (in which no real winner could be determined).
Often the emperor had the final say on the fate of a gladiator, the crowd, however, was also heard by ear-piercing cries of what they believed the gladiator deserved
All games held at the Colosseum were deadly
