Remisoff murals


Facing the library entrance one sees on the right the Roman poet Virgil, author of the Aeneid and other classics. None of the other figures is named; the man lying on his stomach doesn’t look too happy.

On the left is the orator Cicero and listening intently on his right is the philosopher Seneca.  Cicero eventually irritated Mark Antony to the point where the Roman consul had him executed.
