On the anniversary of Scipio’s victory over the Carthaginians in battle, he is
in the Forum facing a charge of financial misconduct. He reminds the
assembly of his achievements and invites them to join him in giving thanks
to the gods.
The speeches went on until nightfall and then the trial was postponed until a
later date.

A priestess of Diana has the task of sacrificing any Greek visitors to
her land. When Orestes and Pylades arrive, she reluctantly
prepares the ritual. After she learns where the men have come
from she offers to let one of them live.
The nature of the sacrifice, so our
ancestors established, is that strangers
fall, killed by the maiden’s sword.
