MARIUS À MINTURNES. De ce grand général admirez la malice! Voyant qu'il allait être atteint; Au travers des roseaux dans la vase il se glisse Et rit en surète dabs ce marais BON TEINT. (Calembourg historique de Mr. de Rothschild.)
Trustman, Benjamin A., Trustman, Julia M. · 1842
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.
