What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
John Chrysostom
"Then the priest of Jupiter, which was before their city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people." But when they saw the garlands, then they went out, and rent their garments.
Western Saints
Bede
The priest of Jupiter, who was in front of the city, bringing bulls and garlands before the gates, etc. It was the custom of the gentiles, according to Pliny, that when sacrificing to the honor of their gods, they would place garlands on both the victims and themselves.
