More literally, memento mori is "remember you will die". There was a Roman ceremony called the Triumph when a successful war commander would parade on a chariot through Rome.

Allegedly, someone would follow them through the day telling them "memento mori" to... keep them humble, I guess? as they were basically showing off to everyone in a god costume.
