This audience, viewing triumphal paintings with the awareness of political insiders, could recognize potential political implications, both subtle and overt, conveyed by some representations.
The triumphal paintings of the last century of the Republican period became increasingly complex and elaborate, truly spectacular and sensational decorations commemorating military victory.

LIGHTCLIFFE, 1833 (National Grid Reference S.E. A Silver coin of L. Scipio Asiaticus was found in the Chapel Yard at Lightcliffe in 1833 and taken to the Yorkshire Museum at York.
An examination of the cabinet in that Museum has revealed a coin of this type which must certainly have been in the collection before 1854 because it is listed in Canon Wellbeloved’s “Catalogue of Roman Coins in the Museum of the Yorkshire Philosophical Society” which was published in that year.
This is the only coin of Scipio Asiaticus in Wellbeloved’s Catalogue and its attribution to Lightcliffe seems also certain.

This is one of the oldest and best-conserved funerary monuments, dating back to 400 B.C. It is inspired by the architecture of Greek theatres, and consists of a series of galleries that contain the tombs of Scipio Asiaticus and Scipio Hispanus.
This burial monument was discovered by chance, when the owners decided to dig a cellar and discovered stones with Latin inscriptions and the intact sarcophagi.
The tomb had room for about thirty sarcophagi, namely the entire Scipio family from between 400 and 300 B.C. There are also statues of Scipio Africanus, Asiaticus and others.

William the Conqueror, Heraclius, and El Cid were at least the equal of these men, and they are on your third tier.
His organization of the Byzantine empire into military provinces was sound and enabled future stability and security, but he was not a general to be ranked with the likes of Philip II, Scipio and Wellington, all whom I think were tremendous captains.
I did not rank Philip II so high merely because who he fathered, but because of his creation (not re-organization) of the army that would be efficacious in the greatest conquest in history.
