A procession of famous examples of rich men from antiquity. At the front of the procession is Pythius, holding a wine vine made of gold and precious stones. Next is Lucullus, the rich Roman magistrate and glutton. He carries a banner with a chicken pie. Behind him comes Crassus, drinking from a cup. This is an allusion to his thirst for money and his death (choked on molten gold). After Crassus comes the dictator Sulla with a sword and a spear, Croesus as a richly dressed king, and Midas with Midas ears under his crown. Under the image a verse in Latin and a French and Dutch inscription in book type. This print is part of an album.
