A fresco of an unknown Roman woman, uncovered in a villa -- ironically -- during the Ides of March. The fresco is in remarkably pristine condition. It is unknown why the artist chose to depict a violent subject matter, the brilliant color of her eyes betraying some burning anger, her tunic forever stained with the blood of her victim.

(Kinda late for the Ides of March, but at least it's still March!)
