Five-story funeral pyre for a Roman Emperor in Rome
Five-story funeral pyre for a Roman Emperor in flames, Rome. The pyramid is decorated with garlands and statues, crowned with a figure on a quadriga, four-horse chariot. Legionnaires, eagle bearers and centurions grieve, musicians blow horns, men sacrifice bulls.
