This image is a black and white engraving portraying a scene with several figures in a setting that appears to be indicative of a historical or mythological narrative. On the left side, there is a group of soldiers, one of whom is leading the procession and appears to be significant due to his larger size and prominent positioning. This figure is wearing a helmet with a plume and is gesturing with his right hand toward the central figure on the opposing side. Behind him are soldiers armed with spears and shields. The architecture in the background suggests an urban environment with stone buildings and battlements that could be part of a city or castle.

In the center of the image stands a larger-than-life character, imposing in stature, holding a staff, and wearing garments that feature bold patterns and folds, indicating high status or authority. His pose is confident and somewhat dramatic as he receives the gesture from the figure on the left. By his side, there is another person who is notably smaller in scale, possibly a servant or attendant, looking up at him with what could be interpreted as admiration or obedience.

To the right, there is a scene where a figure is kneeling before the central character, appearing to present or receive something from the central character's left hand. This interaction seems to take place over a spread-out piece of fabric or a map, while two individuals behind the kneeling figure observe the exchange. One of them holds a piece of armor, possibly a helmet with an elaborate crest, and the other appears to be in a waiting position.

The clothing styles and armor suggest that this scene is set in an era akin to that of the Roman Empire or a similarly ancient time. There are inscriptions at the top and bottom of the image, probably providing context or describing the depicted event. The top inscription appears to be in Dutch, while the bottom one is in Latin, alluding to the historical or educational purpose of the engraving. The numbers "26" in both corners might indicate that this image is part of a series or book.

This image appears to be an engraving depicting a historical or mythological scene involving Roman soldiers and a group of people, likely from the Netherlands, as indicated by the text at the bottom. Here is a detailed description:

Scene Description:

• Setting: The scene is set indoors, possibly in a hall or a large room.
• Characters:
  • Roman Soldiers: There are several Roman soldiers present, identifiable by their armor and helmets. One soldier stands prominently in the center-left, holding a scroll or document and pointing towards the group on the right.
  • Dutch Representatives: On the left side, a group of men, possibly representatives or leaders from the Netherlands, are depicted. They are dressed in armor and appear to be in a discussion or negotiation with the Roman soldiers.
  • Cerialis and Others: On the right side, a man who appears to be Cerialis is seated, surrounded by other individuals who are likely Roman officials or advisors. Cerialis is engaged in conversation with a kneeling soldier.

Actions:

• The central Roman soldier is gesturing with a scroll, possibly presenting terms or a decree.
• The Dutch representatives are attentively listening or responding to the Roman soldier.
• Cerialis is seated and appears to be in a position of authority, receiving a report or plea from the kneeling soldier.

Text:

The text at the bottom is in Latin and provides context to the scene. It reads:

"Cerialis comit te Trier, ende nemen de Romeynsche soldaten, die Nederlandt sphevooren hadden, seer lijfschamt ende beducht staende, in genade ende in dienst, latende hed het leger door ut gaen, op groote straffe, dat niemandt hem dat soude verhutten."

"Treuris insedit Cerialis, et Romanos qui in Belgarum nomen usurparant, in gratiam recepit, et per signa dispergit: prohibens ne quis hoc alius, iurat in utrumque aut certamine, vitio verteret aut expugnaret."

Interpretation:

The scene likely depicts a moment of negotiation or surrender, where Cerialis, a Roman general, is receiving the Dutch representatives and Roman soldiers who had previously been in conflict. The text suggests that Cerialis is showing mercy and taking the soldiers back into service, under strict conditions.

This engraving captures a significant historical or mythological event, highlighting the dynamics between Roman authority and local leaders.
