Summary
| Description |
English: The frieze depicts Tarpeia, a Vestal Virgin, in the center, two soldiers on the left, and a man on the right bringing gifts. It tells the myth of the Sabines suffocating her under the weight of their gifts, and sets the example of punishment for Vestal Virgins who broke their vow of chastity. |
