A large canvas, hanging in the Yale University Art Gallery in New Haven, Connecticut, depicts an epic historical scene set in the Roman Colosseum. In the center of the composition, a group of gladiators raise their arms toward the presiding emperor, inaudibly crying a line that becomes voiced only in the painting’s title: "Ave Caesar! Morituri te salutant" ("Hail Caesar! We Who Are About to Die Salute You").
