The whole city seems to have accompanied the emperor, and a number of men are crowned with garlands. Their wives and a number of children accompany the procession. They are preceded by a number of the legionaries in civil dress, amongst whom are two lictors bearing fasces. p154 A number of bearded men, colonists, are amongst this crowd. All seem to wear shoes, and the children are draped, the boys in the toga, and the girls in long pepla and veils, which are draped over the shoulder and fall in graceful folds down to their feet. One little girl holds the hand of a boy, and with the other hand expresses wonder and delight. The Roman officers and attendants, and the crowned procession in their rear, pass under a triumphal arch.
