The Tamen inter Arma ticket is part of Jonathan Tyers's justification for promoting pleasure and music when English soldiers are at war overseas. Britannia is lifting the muse from her knees, and supporting her music (the lyre), and the result is supporting our economy (thus the cornucopiae), and healthy for ordinary citizens (thus the caduceus).
