The following Battle of Mylae was a stunning victory for Rome, mainly due to the use of the "corvus" boarding device. Duilius captured several enemy vessels, including Gisco's flagship, and was thus the first Roman successful in a naval engagement. He was awarded a triumphal parade featuring the ramming "beaks" of captured Carthaginian warships that later would adorn a column, the Columna Rostrata C. Duilii, erected in Duilius' honor in the Roman Forum. When in Rome, he also had the honor of being accompanied by a torch-bearer and flute-player whenever he went out at night.
