Lo, from the airy web, Blooming and brightsome, Young and exulting, the Phoenix breaks forth. Round him the birds troop, Singing and hailing; Wings of all glories Engarland the king.

The greatest part of the population were pagans, especially among the aristocrats. The Decurions continued to preside at festivals in honour of the old idols. These festivals were frequent. The least excuse was taken to engarland piously the doors of houses with branches, to bleed the sacrificial pig, or slaughter the lamb. In the evening, squares and street corners were illuminated.
