Help me identify this painting!

ArtFilter: I'm looking for the name and/or artist of a painting that I have a print of. It's a Victorian-era (we think) painting of a Roman scene. The original is in the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Specifically, it's a painting of a man on a throne, wearing a toga and pointing. His loyal subjects surround him, lounging around. My mom says that the original in the Philadelphia Museum of Art is quite large. There's a photo of the painting on my Flickr site: http://www.flickr.com/photos/89821283@N00/202344802/

Thanks in advance!

More of the same. Beware pop-ups.
