Faithful and accurate Reconstruction of the Ancient Roman Town Street Altars to the Lares Compitales [gods who protect the town roads][Block 2.3], according to Scientific Data and Archaeological Evidence. 9 Textures, 3 HiDEF Templates. Lo-Poly. _____________________________ Faithful and accurate Reconstruction of the Ancient Roman Town Street Altars to the Lares Compitales [the gods who guard and protect the Town roads and crossroads, i.e. the compita]. Each block [local communities or neighbourhoods] of the Roman Town, i.e. the vicus, had its own street altar on the road. The local Lares block leaders, the vicomagistri, prepared the celebration of the main Lares Compitales annual Festival, the Compitalia, with special Ludi Compitales [Compitales Games] and the other religious functions during the year. The Serpent represents the Earth or the Fields Genius Spirit offering fructifying or generative force. The sacrifice of a pig was common for the Lares Compitales. The Roadways gods, the Lares, can be seen in the frescoes as the symmetrical figures in a dancer's attitude, with one arm rising a drinking horn [rhyton] aloft.
