Acclamatio
In
marriages, Io Hymen, Hymenaee, or Talassio; at triumphs, Io triumphe, Io triumphe; at the conclusion of plays the last actor called out Plaudite to the spectators; orators were usually praised by such expressions as Bene et praeclare, Belle et festive, Non potest melius, etc.[1]
Under the
Scriptores Historiae Augustae, were often of considerable length, and seem to have been chanted by the whole body of senators.[1]
There were regular acclamationes shouted by the people, of which one of the most common was Dii te servent. Other instances of acclamationes are given by
Graevius, Thesaurus antiquitatum Romanarum vol. vi.[1]
