    Is that an anachronistic depiction of Roman siege assault?

    Assault at Massada comes to mind due to the earth ramp.

    The artist has never seen the topography of Acropolis, in this case

    It's the wall that runs from Athens to Piraeus I think. Hence you don't see the Acropolis.

    that part of the wall was even more unsuitable for this type of picture, as it was built on almost level ground. Actually, I retract my point about Athens, I was thinking about the Acropolis walls, not the actual city walls. The latter could fit the pic setting, anachronistic depictions aside.
