The emperors depicted by Alma-Tadema were: Claudius, cowering in fear as the Praetorian guard declare him emperor (in three versions: Proclaiming Caludius Emperor, 1867, untraced; A Roman Emperor, Walters Art Museum, Baltimore; and Ave Caesar! Io Saturnalia! 1880, Akron Art Museum; the corpse of the previous emperor, Caligula, murdered for his crimes, also appears in the two later versions), Vespasian celebrating the sack of Jerusalem and the destruction of the Temple (The Triumph of Titus, 1885, Walters Art Museum, Baltimore), Heliogabalus, famous since Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire as the most depraved emperor of all .
