‘Dimidium Facti’

Figure descriptions
A woman wearing an ornate dress with a ribbon around her waist stands outside of a building. A second woman leans over to adjust the ribbon, and a third woman stands in the shadows behind the second woman. In the background and through an archway, multiple women gather around a frigidarium—a large Roman bath. One woman walks toward the archway and away from the bath; she is topless and wears a cloth around her waist. The water is surrounded by a low stone wall. The tops of bushes or trees are visible behind the wall, and a tablet with inscriptions is propped up on the right side of the ledge. Full-page illustration contained within a double-ruled border.
Flowers and their stems and leaves grow up the left side of the illustration. They are silhouetted against the full moon, which is low on the horizon. The background is shaded and fades to dark in the corners. 1/2-page illustration contained within a triple-ruled border on the left, top, and right edges.
