The paper’s goal is to attempt to show what narrative Swedish museums conduct on spoils of war and trophies which are in their collections, how this strategy was worked out, and how to understand the responsibility versus the visitor watching such objects. Materials from a symposium and a conference held in Stockholm in 2008 have been analysed, and so have current texts (labels, curatorial texts, entries in online catalogues). Swedish museum curators have considered their responsibility to be proper preservation, studying, conserving, displaying those objects, making them available to the public (exhibitions, online bases), thus the basic museum activity has turned into a synonym of modern responsibility. The key activity which enabled the working out of this joint policy is to be found in detailed provenance studies.

This text focuses on the use of trophies (tropaions) in the politics of Lucius Cornelius Sulla. It first of all draws attention to the monuments built after the victorious Battle of Chaeronea and Orchomenos in 86 BC. What is analyzed and discussed are numerous controversies pertaining to the trophy remnants found on Turion Hill. Then the article focuses on coins bearing the image of trophies following the leader’s initiative, which was supposed to symbolize the continuity of his military successes in Greece and Italy. Yet, the said motifs do not only related to the numismatic material, since Sulla also used it in his signet rings. Particularly important in this case is the one presenting the captured Jugurtha, probably modeled on the monument on the Capitolium, which became the bone of contention between Sulla and Gaius Marius.

Przedmiotem artykułu są sposoby wykorzystania tropajonów w polityce Lucjusza Korneliusza Sulli. W pierwszej kolejności autor zwraca uwagę na pomniki wzniesione po zwycięskich bitwach pod Cheroneą i Orchomenos w 86 roku przed Chr. Analizuje przy tym wszelkie kontrowersje związane z pozostałościami trofeum odnalezionego na wzgórzu Turion. Następnie koncentruje się na monetach, na których z inicjatywy wodza przedstawiono tropajony, symbolizujące ciągłość jego sukcesów w Grecji oraz Italii. Motyw ten nie ograniczał się jednak tylko do materiału numizmatycznego, Sulla wykorzystał go także w swoich pierścieniach, którymi sygnował korespondencję. Szczególnie istotny jest w tym kontekście sygnet prezentujący pojmanego Jugurtę, wzorowany prawdopodobnie na monumencie wystawionym na Kapitolu, którego budowa stała się zarzewiem konfliktu z Gajuszem Mariuszem.
