The Catapult, 1868, Edward Poynter.
Complete with naked Roman soldiers.
The tip of the arrow is glowing red hot in the original painting.
The book implies Poynter failed to capture movement in this piece, by focusing too much on detail. Not sure i entirely agree, what do you think?
Delenda est Carthago.
