Allegory on the history of the city of Rome. In the foreground, History sits with a pen in her hand. She looks up at a statue of Emperor Antoninus Pius. On the clouds sit Truth with a sun on her head and Father Time with a scythe. In the background, the city of Rome. In the foreground, a river god as a personification of the Tiber and the she-wolf with Romulus and Remus.
