Photorealistic image of a battle-worn Roman centurion standing amidst the ruins of a burning city at dusk. He wears intricate, blood-splattered lorica segmentata armor with a red plume on his helmet and a deep red cape. He holds a bloodied gladius in his right hand, pointing downwards, and rests his left hand on a scutum shield. His head is slightly bowed, conveying exhaustion and somberness. The background features intense fires and thick black smoke rising into an ominous, orange-hued sky. Moody, dramatic lighting with strong contrasts between the fiery background and the centurion's shadowed figure. Dark, earthy tones dominate, accented by the vibrant reds of the cape, plume, and fires. High detail, cinematic.
