In an 1878 exhibition in Paris, the artist of this painting reproduced its central group as a bronze sculpture. In the upper center of this painting, a brown haired woman holds her right hand over her breast, while on the center left a red tapestry hangs beneath two columns, at the top of which are golden statues of eagles. On the upper right of this painting, a group of white-robed women watch the main scene in which two men lie on the ground with weapons, including a trident and a net, scattered around them. This painting's main action involves a third man, who has his foot on the neck of one of the men on the ground, and who looks expectantly at the Vestal Virgins seated in the lower rows on the right. For 10 points, identify this painting by Jean-Leon Gerome, whose central action is the gesture being made by spectators in the Coliseum
