Description: When Lucius Vitellius went to war in a city, his wife, Triaria, followed him. She wanted his victory, and fought with him. Since it was night, the enemy was unprepared and drowsy. Triaria was armed with a sword and fought mercilessly, killing brutally and in great numbers. In the image, she is wearing a red gown and armor. She is holding a sword, about to swing it down onto an enemy. Around her is the rest of her husband’s army. Her victim lies on the ground, already impaled by a sword.
