[[File:Reknown Triumph.jpg|300px|thumb|The original triumph of Fame from ''[[trionfi|I Trionfi]]'']] | |||
The symbolism of this card corresponds in all points with the ideas which it expresses. A Conqueror, crowned with a coronet, upon which rise shining Pentagrams of gold, advances in a cubical chariot, surmounted by an azure, star-decked canopy supported by four columns. This symbol reproduces the [[The Magician]] and [[The World]] cards in another order of ideas. The four columns represent the four animals of The World, and the four tools of The Magician. The Conqueror has three right angles upon his cuirass, and he bears upon his shoulders the [[Urim and Thummim ]]of the sovereign sacrificant, represented by the two crescents of the [[moon]] on the right and left; in his hand is a scepter. | The symbolism of this card corresponds in all points with the ideas which it expresses.
