Remember the story of Hannibal? Here he is with elephants, horses and soldiers taking on the Romans(actually in the Alps) as he carries out his sworn enmity to Rome. A fine floral trellis with reserves of elephants and horses frames this scene.

Finally, an appropriate reward for you Latin II scholars! (We remember him bringing the elephants and all across the Alps, but fighting the Romans there???--possibly a little artistic license on the part of the potters.)
