Ovation
The Temple of Hercules Victor is located in Rome!
It was called an ovation. Although the ovation was used to honor victorious generals during the republic, it was used more frequently during the time of the principate as Augustus only used the full triumph for members of the imperial family and other emperors followed this custom.
The word 'victor' is already a Latin word. It means "conqueror".
