Imperio Romano, después de conquistar Egipto, en un mercado de esclavos frente a las pirámides, un patricio exhibe a su mejor esclavo para la venta ante un gran multitud. El esclavo es joven y atractivo y posa de pie con su mejor sonrisa. Personas de entre la multitud, levantan el brazo para pujar y gritan sus ofertas.
A naked, muscular man sits cross-legged on a stone platform, his torso illuminated by the sun, with a dark beard, a golden necklace, and his genital area partially visible between his thighs. In front of him, another bearded man, with arm tattoos and a bare torso, leans forward in a ceremonial posture, dressed in rustic leather and woven garments, while bringing his hand close to the man’s face as if performing a ritual or blessing gesture. In the background rises a great Mesoamerican pyramid under warm sunset light, surrounded by a crowd in a historical, sacred, and ceremonial atmosphere, with dust, ancient stone, and hazy mountains in the distance.
