When I was in Rome on the Classics trip I read a fantastic book by Stephen Saylor, The Triumph of Caesar. The book used as its inspiration the painting by Mantegna, which is on permanent display at Hampton Court. This is just one part of that amazing piece of art.
I suggest you have a look at the full picture by clicking on the smaller one you see here - it really is an amazing piece of work, and this is just one of the nine parts of it!
