Souls ascending to heaven - Public domain medieval manuscript

Men, Trinity and devils; philosophers like Apuleius assigned to the demons the middle position between God and men with their eternal misery

Titus and Vespasianus massacre the Jews

People worshipping the statues of Bacchus, Bonus Eventus and Pomona; God blessing a dead man and carrying his soul

Dispute on the great number of pagan gods; God the Father, Virtue and Happiness (background)

Angels and devils fighting over souls that are represented as small human beings; the souls are carried to heaven by angels and welcomed by God the Father

The cruelty of some religious ceremonies, e.g. self-mutilation, and the ridiculousness of worshipping Venus, Jupiter, Juno, Diana and Apollo in the shape of animals (as criticized by Seneca)

Apuleius advises the use of demons as mediators between mankind and the gods
