FORVM PALLADIVM Siue Nerue in Regione Vie Sacre

Haec tabula simul ac subsequentes sex visuntur adhuc Foro di Nerva in zophoro Porticus Fori Palladij, quod conditum a Domitiano postea a successore Nerua Forum Nervae fuit appellatum. Cum vero Domitianus Mineruam superstitiose coleret, hinc eiusdem Deae artes / et lanificia in eodem zophoro insculpta sunt, quod forte ex hac parte eius aedes extaret. 1 MVLIER SEDENS VELATA DEA EST PVDICITIA CVIVS STVDIOSA ADMODVM MINERVA CREDEBATVR 2 IVVENIS IACENS CVM VRNA AQVAE GENIVS / EST FORTE ALBANI LACVS CVM IN ALBANO DOMITIANVS QVINQVATRIA ET LVDOS CELEBRARET.

Annotations

Der Stich gibt einen Abschnitt des figurlichen Gebälkfrieses der Umfassungsmauer des Nerva-Forums in Rom wieder; vgl. Census, http://census.bbaw.de/easydb/censusID=151226 [06.06.2012]. Die nach vorne schreitende Frauenfigur diente als Vorbild für die Personifikation des Glaubens in der unteren Szene von Tafel M der Iconologia Deorum.
