theurbanhistorian:

Spoliarium (Juan Luna) and Las virgenes Cristianas expuestas al populacho (Christian Virgins exposed to the populace) (Felix R. Hidalgo). These are Filipino Triumphs during the 1884 Madrid Exposition of the Beautiful Arts as Luna won gold and Hidalgo a silver for their entries in the exposition.

You can see that Luna and Hidalgo still painted from the European Point of view, thus the paintings are set from the Roman empire.
