In Syracusa, Arminius visits the Temple of Mercury, where he makes a prayer for the success of his trading ventures...and at the temple of Portunus where he makes an augury for the safety of his three ships.
"O Mercury, I beg you to show a kindly face on my trading ventures--may they be worthy of your protection and guiding hands!"
He sprinkles the finest incense on the brazier, and gives the attendant priest a white lamb for sacrifice.
At the horbor-side temple of Portunus, he offers up more incense, and gives the attendant priest on duty a large turbot for examination.
"Portunus, I ask you to guide my ships safely to their harbors...for your assistance, I will make improvements to your temple here in Syracusa, and also improve the harbor facilities for your greater glory!
For Mercury: 100 D
For Portunus: 100 D
Total Temple Cost: 200 D
