Bomgardner sees in the spectacle depicted in the mosaic a sacrificial event and not an entertainment, it was consecrated to Bacchus and Diana. The leopards are bedecked with sacred plants (millet and ivy) and even the garment decoration of one of the venatores, Hilarius, shows a pattern resembling millet. Venationes were linked to (agricultural) prosperity.
