What, possibly apocryphal, event is being portrayed here?Answer: Archimedes about to be killed by a Roman solider during the Battle of Syracuse. Apparently, he was engrossed in some problem and asked the soldier not to "disturb his circles". Debasish, Karthik, Arvind, v.chandrashekar and Hirak got it. Raghu and Iam went with the wrong ancient mathematician. Well done all.
