[QUOTE]Originally posted by BlessedbyHorus: [QB] Found an interesting gem. Though it is a late depiction... [IMG]http://www.louvre.fr/sites/default/files/imagecache/940x768/medias/medias_images/images/louvre-bataille-zama.jpg[/IMG] Hannibal (atop the Elephant) and Scipio who is pointing at him. [IMG]http://40.media.tumblr.com/bae9bb156c8e439b3ac569066298dcb8/tumblr_n046rm7yVG1ssmm02o1_500.png[/IMG] Weird that Hannibal is the only dark skinned one. "The scene, which is based on Livy's account of the second Punic War in his History of Rome (XXX, 33, 4-16), depicts the last battle pitting Scipio and the Roman army against the Carthaginians. Elephants in the Carthaginian army's front lines are charging the Romans, toppling men and horses. On the left, an elephant startled by the blare of a trumpet and a horn turns on its own camp. In the foreground, Scipio, wearing a starry blue mantle, leads his men, urging them to push back the enemy with swords and javelins.The border along the sides and lower edge features a broad garland of flowers, fruits, small animals, and frolicking children. The upper part consists of an architrave, probably to comply with the dimensions requested by the first patron to commission a tapestry on this theme, the Maréchal de Saint-André, whose arms grace the upper corners." http://www.louvre.fr/en/oeuvre-notices/tapestry-history-scipio-battle-zama [/QB][/QUOTE]
