Engraved scene under columns: hatted men in cloaks, a kneeling man at center, and a crowd with spears at right.

An engraved judicial scene in an arcaded hall with classical columns. Men in wide-brimmed hats and flowing cloaks stand at left, a kneeling man clasps the leg of a figure at center, and a crowd with pikes and spears gathers at right beneath lines of Latin verse.
