The frieze vividly depicts a bustling carpenters' workshop where skilled artisans are hard at work. The esteemed carpenters' guild, renowned for its masterful construction of the Temple of Capitoline Jupiter in the sixth century, proudly maintained responsibility for the temple's upkeep until the dawn of Imperial times. As a mark of their exceptional service, the guild was granted the distinguished honor of securing an official presence on the majestic slopes of the Capitoline Hill, a privilege that endured well into the Imperial age.
