Sacrifice Temple of Neptune
The scene takes place around the altar, in front of the temple. The priest begins the rite by pouring wine and incense into the fire of the brazier, while his assistants and haruspices prepare themselves for the actual sacrifice and the musicians sing a melody.
The priest approaches the votive animal, and sprinkles it with wine before it is brought to the altar for sacrifice.
