"Popilius bij Antiochus" is a historical engraving created by Ludwig Gottlieb Portman in 1797. It depicts the Roman envoy, Popilius Laenas, confronting the Seleucid king Antiochus IV Epiphanes in 168 BC. The scene, set in a landscape, shows Popilius presenting Antiochus with a message demanding he withdraw from Egypt. The dramatic composition highlights the tension between the two figures, making this an engaging historical artwork. This engraving, found in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the Neoclassical style popular in the late 18th century.
