HONOUR.

The emblems of this god are, the crown of laurel, the lance, and the horn

of plenty; though he is sometimes represented, instead of arms, with the

olive branch of peace, as the reward of bravery.

the one to Virtue. An augur having warned Marcellus that these two

divinities would not dwell in the circumference of the same temple, he

built the two distinct edifices to which we have alluded; but, to arrive at

the temple of Honour, it was necessary to pass through that of Virtue.
