The trump cards (Major Aracana or Greater Secrets)

Processions and sacred games in pagan Rome were under the charge of a high priest. The central figure in a triumph was: a hero, sacred king, emperor, or a man impersonating a god.

Cards in sequence imitated holy processions and each picture meant a new revelation.
