MARIUS AT MINTURN. Of this great general, admire the sly trick! Seeing that he was going to be seized; Through the breeds he disappeared in the slick And laughs in safety at this feast. (Historical verse by Mr. de Rothschild.). Charivari
Description:
Marius is hiding from the army by immersing himself in the swamp. This illustration shows a somewhat unusual interpretation of the Roman General Gaius Marius (156 - 86 B.C.); he is hiding from the passing troops of Sulla.
