Spanish term or phrase: méritos militares
Según se deduce pues de los pasajes de Cicerón (y aunque el orador trate de disimularlo interesadamente en su Pro Plancio), los méritos militares conseguidos durante un mandato provincial suponían un notable aliciente en las posibilidades de prosperar en la vida pública.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks Phil. I also think it's 'military merit/achievement' but wasn't sure if it was right. It sounded a bit too much like a direct translation, although I have seen it on different websites.

military hono(u)rs


Explanation:
Would be more usual and natural for those of us pro-Latinists who have clocked up the Latin language, plus Roman history, at school.

-> ergo, los méritos militares conseguidos durante un mandato provincial : military hono(u)rs won during a provincial term of office (mandate)

Example sentence(s):
  • Roman coins depicting the emperor wearing a laurel wreath, which was a symbol of honor and victory
