After the first lustral sacrifice a more solemn sacrifice is prepared within the circular praetorian quarters, shown in the background in the last composition. Tents are seen within the enclosure, and a bulging piece of wall or hollow tower on one side, perhaps represents the praetorian gate. Inside is seen the emperor dressed in the cinctus gabinus. He is pouring a libation from a patera in his hand.
Images with borders lead to more information.
The thicker the border, the more information. (Details here.) |
