The Pontifex Maximus mounts the Rostra,

"People of Rome, I am disappointed in your lack of piety for your ancestors. Where are the mourners who went to the graveyards of the city, and performed their private rites? The Manes ask not of costly presents...only piety. One must only bring a small offering of a tile wreathed with votive garlands, a sprikling of corn, a few grains of salt, bread soaked in wine and some loose violets... to the tombs of your ancestors. Appease and honor them, Quirites."
