Mucius, 1586 print The hero Gaius Mucius Scaevola, a sword in the right hand, the sheath in the left hand. In the background you can see how he stimulates his right hand for King Porsenna fearlessly in the fire. Twice two verses in Latin under the performance. Haarlem paper engraving Gaius Mucius Scaevola before Porsena: he thrusts his right hand into the flames (the body of the king's secretary who erroneously had been killed instead of Porsena may be seen lying on the ground)
