Declaration of subjugation by Persian prisoners before Caesar enthroned
The seated figure at left depicts Caesar on a portable throne surrounded by his garrison. Two bowing Persians approaching him accompanied by their children and by women wearing the characteristic Persian tiara complete the scene (fig.1).
Declaration of subjugation by Persian prisoners before Caesar enthroned
This frieze, only part of which survives, once more depicts the scene of subjugation of the Persians before the enthroned Caesar, who is accompanied by his garrison. Again, Persians and their children are drawing near him (fig.2).
Female figures – personifications of cities
Only the left, badly damaged part of the frieze is preserved. It depicts female figures, some of whom hold a scepter and horn of plenty (cornucopia). The figures probably depict goddesses-patronesses of Roman cities (fig.3)
Animals laden with plunder
This zone is entirely destroyed, but it most likely carried a row of animals loaded down with booty.
