Seven Romans by Frank Frazetta (1979)

This iconic piece is a magnificent fantasy oil painting officially titled Seven Romans, created in 1979 by the legendary "Godfather of Fantasy Art," Frank Frazetta, to serve as the historic cover artwork for the premier issue of Marvel Comics' legendary fantasy magazine, Epic Illustrated #1, in the spring of 1980. The background story depicted serves as a sweeping, dramatic testament to tactical defiance and military camaraderie, capturing a small vanguard of ancient, hyper-muscular Roman centurions and legionaries holding a treacherous, rocky mountain ridge. Frazetta anchors the explosive composition with his signature dynamic anatomy and high-contrast palette, crowning the frame with a heroic, cross-armed commander wearing a flowing crimson cape that snaps in the wind, while his unit braces themselves behind heavy, metal-rimmed scutum shields and raises a golden aquila standard to defy an incoming assault under a roiling sky of deep violet and blood-red battle smoke.
