"Marcus Furius Camillus laat de schoolmeester van de Falerii door diens leerlingen geselen" (Marcus Furius Camillus has the schoolmaster of Falerii flogged by his pupils) is a 1741 drawing by Dutch artist Cornelis Troost. The drawing depicts a scene from Roman history, where the Roman general Marcus Furius Camillus ordered the schoolmaster of the city of Falerii to be flogged by his pupils. The scene takes place in a Roman camp, with tents and trees in the background. The schoolmaster is bound and being whipped by young boys, while Camillus gestures to the right. The detailed and expressive figures, and the use of light and shadow, are characteristic of Troost's work. The drawing is now in the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
