ArtistA vibrant, maximalist surreal digital painting in the style of Fernando Botero. But if the barbarians raged without, the Roman soldiers raged within the camp. They were eager to sally forth, give battle to the foe or scatter them in flight, and they were made to sit still, or allowed at best only to throw a few arrows from the walls. "What does Marius take us for," they grumbled, "that he thus locks us up and will not let us fight? Is building walls and digging trenches worthy labour for a soldier? Are we not here to fight for our country?"
A wide-angle, full, high-angle masterclass oil painting shows a group of rotund and chubby soldiers dressed as the Roman army. The soldiers are wearing dark metallic breastplates, red skirts with gold studded accents, and metal helmets with crests. The soldiers are gathered around, conversing and discussing various things. The scene is outdoor in a grassy plain with distant rolling hills, and a distant city can be seen in the background. The lighting is bright with a blue, cloud-filled sky.
