content: Obliquely shown. The central archway is flanked by two smaller ones upon which putti of Victory stand between groups of seated captives. Upon the central arch stands a pedestal; its front bears the inscription of which the first line is intelligible. On top is a group of figures and lions upon steps. Urns with flames stand at the corners of the lowest step. Trees form the background of the square. More or less of the framing stripes have been cut off at the edges.
