ricardiennePursuant to this post, here's a random 18th century French historical painting of Servilia and her father before Nero's tribunal.
You might be wondering, "is that really supposed to be the Roman senate?" Indeed, I have no idea either. But the real disappointment is Nero: he must be the one in the red wrap, seated, front row, second from the right. Although he doesn't look at all like Nero, and, really, there's no excuse for that!
