Greco-Roman, Hercules, Emperor
DAVID 633
In the beginning of their encounter, the emperor presents a gift to the young gladiator, the (supposed) legendary Belt of Hercules. Of course, the emperor insists on fitting it to the young man and he also insists that its complicated set of buckles requires the young man to remove his clothing. The emperor is careful to steady the muscular youth by placing his left hand (which you can't see) on his bare buttocks.
That's one thing that's wonderful about being the artist...all the camera angles I get to see.
