Hispho does not share the general fun and says that Christians have appeared again in the city. The crowd does not hear him and directs his gaze to the beautiful Servilia, who goes through the square. A sacred procession appears. Suddenly, the old man, who was watching the triumph in progress, begins to scream angrily that the Romans are sinners. The crowd wants to kill the old man, but Valery assists him...
