Inmitten einer hügeligen Landschaft Cacus, unter einem Repoussoirbaum liegend und eine absteigende Diagonale bezeichnend. Die Darstellung geht auf eine Geschichte in der römischen Mythologie zurück. Cacus war ein riesenhafter mörderischer Räuber, der sich auf das Feuerspeien verstand und das Tor seiner Höhlenwohnung mit den Schilden und Knochen seiner Opfer dekorierte. Herkules trieb die Rinder des Geryon durch Italien und machte in der Nähe von Cacus Höhle Rast, was dieser nutzte, um zwei Rinder zu entwenden. Herkules machte den Täter ausfindig und erschlug ihn mit seiner großen Keule mit einem Schlag, wie hier gut zu erkennen ist. (1361811) (13)
