Description:
|
|
The walls are lined with a double frieze showing a long procession of Roman soldiers marching. This extends for more than sixty meters and has about five hundred figures. The end of the procession, is set on the left corner of the upper part of the South wall: here you can see the rearguard of the army coming out of an arch, soldiers, women and children, wagons with supplies. The head of the army is depicted on the East wall, where two squadrons of horsemen are riding at a full gallop. The barrel vault is decorated with delicate bas-reliefs depicting the characters of myth and classical history. In the recesses of the lunettes, the figures of Mars (North wall) and Hercules (South wall) are modeled in high relief. Winged Victories (nike) are depicted around them, arranged in a semicircle.
