This etching by William Hogarth, titled "Fustigatio," depicts a scene of Roman military punishment. A soldier is being whipped by another soldier while a third soldier observes. The scene is set in front of a camp, emphasizing the military context of the punishment. Hogarth was a prolific artist known for his satirical prints, and this work likely served as a commentary on the brutality of military discipline.
