At top, a naval battle between three Bireme warships manned by armed soldiers. One more boat is sinking in flames next to rocks. On the island stands a Sacellum or temple with a statue of Neptune, and a warrior with helmet, shield and pike. The vignette below shows various types of fish, octopus and lobster. Copperplate engraved by Tommaso Piroli from his own "Antichita di Ercolano" (Antiquities of Herculaneum), Rome, 1789. Italian artist and engraver Piroli (1752-1824) published six volumes between 1789 and 1807 documenting the murals and bronzes found in Heraculaneum and Pompeii.
