 The episode was depicted in several works of art and in the verse "The Justice" by Belarusian poet Simeon of Polotsk (1629—1680).Visually, the core motif is the confrontation between the emperor, often mounted on a horse, and the widow, sometimes shown kneeling.Some depictions, like that carved on the facade of the Doge's Palace, Venice, are restricted to those figures, but often there is a great crowd of the emperor's army and courtiers.
