Description
Content (description)
Far left, a man pointing upwards, addresses a barbarian captive. Two men drive to right in a quadriga, trampling a barbarian underfoot. In centre a victorious man drives to right in his chariot as a victory holds out a wreath to crown him. Tellus, leaning on a basket, reclines beneath the horses' hooves. On right a man on horseback looks back to the hero but rides towards a doorway in the background. Beneath his horse is a vase of corn. On far right two females and a male, who wears a tunic and has a dog at his feet, join hands.
