Hercules strikes Cacus, and view of Rome
Page of text with marginal drawings. At the top in the left margin is a picture of Rome. In front of the city stand two men, one of whom is wearing armour. There are birds flying over their heads. This seems to refer to the method by which Romulus and Remus decided who should rule the city that they founded. At the foot of the page is Hercules with a large club about to strike at Cacus (the bearded man on the right) who is pulling a bull backwards by the tail
