On the marble slab worked in high relief is represented a togate character, perhaps an emperor, in the role of Pontifex Maximus, who in front of an altar celebrates a sacrifice of animals in the presence of the priestesses of the goddess Vesta. The scene takes place near a temple, evoked by the Ionic columns rendered in perspective in low relief in the background. The slab, which was broken into three fragments, can be dated to the Flavian age. It comes from the collection of the Prince of Raffadali.
