Pls see below thanks
The Crucifixion of St. Peter, symbol of the Church’s authority with his specular death, unfolds against the backdrop of the pyramid of Meta Romuli to the left of the Cross, with Castel Sant'Angelo to the right and the hill and the Tower of the Capitoline Hill, the Vatican Palaces and a basilica with an embossed door that recalls the classic Neroniane buildings.
Next to the cross are a group of female mourners and two nimbus soldiers.
The Beheading of St. Paul is illustrated against a countryside backdrop where the basilica of Ostia is recognisable.

nimbed = nimbado
Hay que pensar en un error ortográfico; "nimbus soldiers" no tiene ningún sentido. También es extraño que en una crucifixión aparezcan soldados nimbados, pero a mi entender sólo puede ser eso.

Reference:
nimbus, halo
an indication of radiant light drawn around the head of a saint.
A halo — a circle of radiant light around the heads of God, Christ, the Virgin Mary, or a saint. A type of aureole, gloriole, or glory. It indicates divinity or holiness, though originally it was placed around the heads of kings and gods as a mark of distinction.

Sin ver el cuadro, me arriesgo a decir que podría tratarse de dos soldados distinguidos por un halo.
