This was on FB. It's all I have, so I can't verify it. Can you guys tell me if this is photo shopped?

That does not appear to be photoshopped to me. I couldn't find any stair-stepped edges, the lighting and contrast match, and the shadows/ lighting direction also match on all the figures. It may have been contrast adjusted, probably was, but not so much that one would be led to think the adjustment was to hide any manipulations - more like an adjustment to bring out details.
So what is it supposed to be showing, and when/ where was it supposed to have been taken?

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
