"I don’t believe that Macri depicts a Roman warrior in this superbly executed portrait, unless it’s one who has bathed after a bloody struggle, and then put on a mask to attend a costume party in the Emperor’s palace. Nonetheless, he deliberately draws our attention to the idea of shield as relevant to deception and the illusion of external appearances, or the protection of hidden identities."
