Five-story funeral pyre for a Roman Emperor in flames, Rome. The pyramid is decorated with garlands and statues, crowned with a figure on a quadriga, four-horse chariot. Legionnaires, eagle bearers and centurions grieve, musicians blow horns, men sacrifice bulls. Copperplate engraving by Jan Luyken from Abraham Bogaerts De Roomsche Monarchy, The Roman Monarchy, Francois Salma, Utrecht, 1697.
