To his right, a bare-chested barbarian warrior-clad in a fur-lined loincloth and wielding a club-is depicted mid-fall, upside down, suggesting defeat. The illustration uses bold colors and clear anatomical detail to emphasize contrast between disciplined Roman military order and perceived barbarian chaos.
