And Felix - we haven't seem him in uniform for a long time, but he keeps on finding himself in battles (off the battlefield) just like this one, doesn't he? Outnumbered, up against forces that are much more destructive than he ever could be, but fighting on and winning at least partial victories. So far.
I really like how Sweetum's toga more or less defines the area of the portrait (I say more or less because of the gray area behind him) and how wise and benevolent he looks. More so than many emperors I could name (*cough*Domitian*cough*).
And the action shot of Felix--wow! Dude means business.

Felix on top of the temple wall's battlements watching the temple burn. Behind him the city burns as well.
