Tournament Dedicated to the Deceased Father of Aeneas

Nine days before the sports tournament, dedicated to Aeneas' deceased father Anchises, were held, Aeneas went with a group of men to a place where he according to custom poured two cups of uncut wine, two cups of fresh milk and two cups of consecrated blood over the ground and scattered purple flowers while speaking a prayer. Aeneas stands here in the midst of his men with two cups in his hands. On the same plate, to the left below this scene, a decorated initial I with the portrait of two wrestling men.
