We can hardly suppose that more
than one stage of the triumph was portrayed:
so we must conclude that Augustus
is represented as in the present
line, sitting in the temple he dedicated on
the Palatine, Invectus then, v. 714,
will refer to what had already taken place,
and sacrabat will be used generally, the
act here described being the culmination
of the whole. Niveo refers to the
marble of the temple, which was brought,
as Serv. tells us, from the bay of Luna.
So candentis, though there is also a
reference to the dazzling brightness of the
young sun-god, as in Hor. 1 Od. 2. 31,

If wool delight thee, first, be far removed
All prickly boskage, burrs and caltrops; shun
Luxuriant pastures; at the outset choose
White flocks with downy fleeces. For the ram,
How white soe'er himself, be but the tongue
'Neath his moist palate black, reject him, lest
He sully with dark spots his offspring's fleece,
And seek some other o'er the teeming plain.
Even with such snowy bribe of wool, if ear
May trust the tale, Pan, God of Arcady,
Snared and beguiled thee, Luna, calling thee
To the deep woods; nor thou didst spurn his call.
