Image description: Whole artwork view. From a door on the left can be glimpsed a black horse and a manservant wearing a short tunic; in the close-up, two heroes - maybe Patroclus and Achilles - talk together: the first one from the left, leaning against a cane, is bare but a mantle that falls upon his shoulders, and a pair of luxurious sandals; the second one is bare too, and is sitting on a throne richly decorated with sphynx-shaped arms, and covered with a red mantle; at the feet of the throne is placed his sword, inserted in a scabbard; from Palestra, Insula Orientalis, Ercolano.
