Unspecified; context suggests war booty, presence of soldiers, and other spoils perhaps in precious metals, sculpture, painting
-
From the context, it is implied that Caesar should not have to sell of the visual works that formed part of his booty and would typically appear in a triumph (see e.g. Livy), in order to pay his soldiers.
