VI. PANNONIA INFERIOR Visegrid (distr. Pest, Hungary) lIS. Broken lower portion of a marble roundel, discovered in the Roman camp. Visegnid Museum (Hungary).

IV (1960), p. 356, no. 175; Soproni, R6maiak Visegrddon, p. 13, fig. 4. a) The principal field, marked off below by a thick line, is bounded at the sides by two plain columns. In the centre is a goddess with a veil on her head, standing behind a mensa Delphica of which only one leg is visible, and towards her gallop two horsemen with short tunics and Phrygian caps. The one on the right (the only one preserved intact) raises his left hand to strike a man prostrate beneath his horse's hooves and with his right salutes the goddess; the fallen man lies with his knees raised and is attacked by a quadruped (lion? dog?) of which only the head and a forepaw are distinguishable. The man prostrate beneath the left-hand horse is stretched out horizontally upon the ground and is probably also being attacked by a quadruped. b) In the bottom register there may be seen, from left to right: a cock in profile facing left and perched on a block, a male figure in profile facing right, holding the head of a ram by its horns, a person (Nemesis?) advancing towards the scene of occultatio, in which two standing male figures, one facing the other, hold a piece of cloth in front of a third, seated in the background between them, and lastly a recumbent quadruped facing left (lion?) with a crater below.
