PREFACE.
The bulk of the Marbles described in this, the Third volume of the Catalogue of Sculpture, belong to a period which extends from the end of the' 3rd cent. b.c. to the 3rd or 4th cent. a.d. For the most part they are the work of Greek sculptors who with much technical facility carried on in Rome the traditions of the later Attic School, or, as occasion offered, turned their talents to the making of copies or adaptations from archaic Greek statues and bas-reliefs to suit the tastes of their Roman patrons. These sculptures are accordingly called " Graeco-Roman." Those of them which are copies or adaptations of archaic works are designated as << archaistic." See Nos. 1560, 1563, 1603, 1609, 1624, 1780 and 2205.
Among the Graeco-Roman sculptors were some who created almost a style of their own by infusing a very marked degree of sentiment into types derived mostly from Greek sculptures of the end of the archaic age. Of this school Pasiteles was the head. His date is the 1st cent. B.C. Examples of this style may be seen in Nos. 1666-7. Earlier than this there had arisen in Greece a school of sculpture characterised by accurate knowledge of the human figure and a very bold, forcible style. It is known as the Pergamene School, from the fact
4
IV PREFACE.
that a splendid series of these sculptures has been found at Pergamon. The school itself appears to have had its origin in one of the Greek islands. Examples may be seen in Nos. 1860, 1861. But these specimens of special schools are too few in comparison with the large number of sculptures included in this volume to afford a sufficient basis for a classification of the whole according to style. It has therefore seemed more practical to classify according to subject, at the same time separating the reliefs from the sculptures in the round. The Addenda consist of Marbles of an earlier date acquired since the publication of Volume I. Probably the best work of the Graeco-Roman sculptors was done within the 1st cent. B.C. and the 1st cent. A.D. Where the execution is obviously debased, a later date, such as the 3rd or 4th cent, a.d., may be assigned with certainty. But there remain many instances in which the date can only be conjectural witliin the limits indicated above.
The portraits fall into two classes, (1) those of celebrated Greeks of whom presumably in most instances there had existed contemporary portraits for the Graeco-Koman sculptor to copy from, and (2) those of eminent Romans. In the former, however poor the copy, it is generally easy to recognise the methods of the original Greek sculptor, whose technique, derived from the great age of ideal sculpture, gives tone to the details of feature and expres- sion. To a considerable extent this Greek method of portraiture survives in the busts of Romans towards the end of the Republic and in the earlier part of the Empire. But from the time of Trajan onwards the Roman artists appear to have been mostly content with the easiest method of obtaining an effective likeness.
PREFACE. V
The nucleus of the Graeco-Roman series of sculptures in the Museum was formed by the purchase of the Towneley collection in 1803. Since then, the additions, though numerous, have not been obtained from any similarly large and important source. The facts in each case are set out in the catalogue.
In preparing this Third volume of his catalogue Mr. Arthur H. Smith has been frequently indebted to Sir C. T. Newton's " Guide to the Grseco-Roman Sculptures, parts I.-IL," now out of print. But the essential part of the work is his own. The proofs have been read by myself and the staff of my department.

The head is surmounted by a modius, encircled with branches of olive. Apart from the modius, the type of Zeus Sarapis may be distinguished from that of Zeus by the more mild expression of the countenance, and by the treatment of the hair, which, instead of growing erect, like the mane of a lion, falls over the forehead in clustering masses, as in the example here described. — Taumeley CoU.

1631. Seated figure of the Chthonian or Infernal Zeus. He is seated on a throne with a footstool. He has long fiowing hair, bound with a taenia ; a chiton with short sleeves, a large mantle, and sandals. The figure is restored as holding a thunderbolt and sceptre. On the right of the throne is an eagle, and on the left Cerberus. The combination of these symbols indicates that in this statue the Olympian and Chthonian divinities are united in one type. Such mixed types were common in late Boman art. 2nd cent. a.d. (?). — Toumeley Coll,
Greek marble. Height, 2 feet. Restorations: both arms with attributes, head of eagle, part of plinth, and of throne. Pur- chased at Rome (Adams's sale), 1773. Mus.

1632. (Fig. 3.) Fragment of a group of Jupiter Dolichenus. A bull stands to the nght, having on his back portions of a figure of Jupiter Dolichenus, namely, a booted left leg and traces of the right foot. A mantle, which must have hung down from the left arm, rests on the head of the bull. The bull has a broad band round the ribs, and is potreppus by a large square block. The right hind leg is
broken away. The back of the group, wbiob is compoeed almost aa a relief, is oolj slightly worked.
The plinth is inscribed . . . coh^ortW) V Cal{laicorum) ex [volo] f.
The figure when perfect probably held a double axe in the right hand and a thunderbolt in the left. The worship of Jupiter of Doliche (an iron-working towu in
Comnu^ene) spread through the provinces of the Roman empire in the eecoud century a.d. Compare the silver- gilt votive tablets from Heddemheim, in the Room of Gold Ornaments. 2nd-'3rd cent. a.d. — Blaca* Coll.

Marble. tJeight 2 feet 9 inches. Restored : head with Phrygian cap. Purchased, 1888. Mansell, No. 1127. This type does not appear to occur elsewhere. It is most nearly approached by a statue in the Vatican, Visconti, Mus. Pio-Clem,, II., pi. 35. Compare also Bonner Jahrhuecher^ 108/109, pi. 2, fig. 5.
1534. (Fig. 4.) Ganymede (?). Torso of a boy, from the neck to the middle of the thighs. He stands principally on the right leg, with the left arm raised, as if resting on the stump of a tree, a bough of which is seen touching the left thigh. The right hand and arm (now wanting) rested on the right thigh, let cent. B.C. (?).
Pentelic marble. Height, 1 foot 6^ inches.
For another figure, sometimes interpreted as Ganymede, see No. 1763. ^'ig- *• No. 1534.
1536. (Plate I.) Group of Europa and the Bull. The bull stands to the left, with his head turned to the spectator. He stands with his hind legs on the ground, and with the forelegs extended, as if to swim. His chest is supported by a prop formed of a pair of dolphins. Europa sits side- ways, and faces the spectator. Her right hand rests on the bull's neck, while the loft hand appears to have been raised, and probably held up drapery. She wears a tunic, girt at the waist, and a mantle. The missing parts of the group are the fore legs, horns and tail of the bull (which
HERA. 9
were aeparatelj attached), and part of the right hind leg ; also the head and arms of Europa (separately attached) and her feet. Europa has worn a girdle of metal.
Inscribed, on the neck of the bull, nilMIA (?).
It has been suggested (by A. S. Murray) that this may be a copy, made for the Cretans, of a bronze by Pythagoras of Bhegium, at Tarentum.

1638. Poseidon, (a) Torso of a male figure, from the neck to the knees. The figure stands evenly on both legs, with the left leg straight to the front, and the right knee turned out. The right arm, now wanting, was raised, and probably held a trident. There is a small support on the right thigh. The left arm falls by the side, and was bent forward at the elbow. A support for it remains above the left thigb. The head was a separate piece, fastened on by a dowel. A small piece of a chlamys, with long folds, falls from the left shoulder. (6) Plinth of the statue, in the form of a ship's prow, surrounded by wavelets. The two feet are firmly planted on the prow, with the left foot straight to the front. Among the waves on its left is a mass, probably the remainder of a dolphin, which served as a support to the figure. The front of the prow has an unfinished appearance. Perhaps it was originally intended to attach the extremity by a toggle joint. It may, however, be a conventional way of suggesting a view of the ship's ram, seen from the front. Hellenistic period. — Cyzicua.

Three hounds issue from below her waist, which terminates in leaves of seaweed, one to the front and one to each side. At the back is the beginning of a convoluted tail. The only extant hound's head has the tumed-up snout, erect ears, and spiny ridge down the back, which mark a sea monster. (Cf. Mon. delV InsLf iii., pi. 53, fig. 1, etc.) The neck terminates in seaweed.

1S46. Statue of Demeter (?), with the attributes of Isis. Female figure standing to the front with the right foot slightly advanced. She wears a long chiton, with sleeves fastened by brooches, a mantle, passing under the left arm and fastened by a brooch on the right shoulder, and sandals. Her hair is gathered behind the oars and falls in tresses on the shoulders. On her head is a coronet (siephane) ornamented with a disk placed between two serpents, the symbol of Isis, and surmounted by eai's of com in place of the usual feather of Isis. In her left hand she holds a bucket, the attribute of Isis, on which hangs a garland. The right hand holds ears of com and some fruit, probably a poppy-head and a date. It is, however, a restoration, probably derived from another statue, and there is, therefore, but little evidence for the name of Demeter.
The figure was probably executed in the time of Hadrian, when the types of Demeter and Isis were so blended as to be with difficulty distinguished. These

APOLLO, ETC.
1546. Head of Apollo (?). Youthful male head, with long curls, escaping from under a taenia to each side of the face, and gathered up in a mass at the back of the head.
The head, which is probably a Graeco-Boman copy from a bronze original, has the characteristics of a group of sculptures connected with the name of Calamis. In particular, the eye is placed rather high in the head, and the hair is brought over the forehead, so giving the effect of a large face below the eyes and a rather heavy chin. Compare the Choiseul-Gouffier Apollo and the two replicas of the head immediately adjoining (Nos. 209-211).
The name of lakchos (an Eleusinian deity) has been suggested for the head, but the type of that god is un- certain, and the name of Apollo is more probable. — Borne.
Parian (?) marble. Height, 11 inches. The head has been broken in three parts, and a narrow strip from the middle of the forehead to the base of the right ear is restored, as also the nose. Bought, 1898. Arch. Anzeiger, 1899, p. 204; Mrs. Strong, Strena Helbigiana, p. 293 ; Mansell, No. 1148. For a replica at Mnnich, see Furtwaengler, Meistencerke, p. 115.
APOLLO. 15
1547. (Plate m.) Head of Apollo, commonly known as the Giostiniani Apollo. The head is inclined slightly forward and considerably to the right side. The long hair is tied in a knot above the forehead and falls in sharply defined tresses from the centre over the temples and ears. The expression of the face has been analysed (by Brunn) as that of self-absorbed poetic frenzy. This example should be stadied in connection with the replica No. 1548. A third copy still remains in the Giustiniani palace, attached to a figure of Apollo standing with his head inclined to the right, but there is some uncertainty as to whether the head and the body belong together.
In pose, composition and treatment of the hair, there is a considerable resemblance between this figure and No. 1548. There is, however, a marked difference in style between the two heads. This one has sharply-cut edges for hair, lips and eyelids, and strong conventional ridges for the eyebrows. The companion head is worked in a simpler and less-mannered style. The peculiarities of the Giustiniani head have been supposed to be due to the fact that it is copied from a bronze original, but this does not account for its differences from the replica. It is also suggested (by Furtwaengler) that No. 1548 most nearly represents the style of an original, of the period after Alexander, from which both copies are derived, and that the mannerisms of the Giustiniani head are those of a later copyist, who sought to give his work an archaic character by giving it the sharp-cut and -peculiar treat- ment of outlines which Furtwaengler associates with the artist Cresilas. — PourtaUs Coll.

APOLLO. 17
Tliis head, and the two other replicas, Nos. 1550, 1551, are derived from a special type of Apollo, easily recognised by the style of the headdress, which is very rare except for figures of Eros or of children. The com- plete figure, as we know it from a copy in the Louvre, is one of Apollo standing, with the left arm supported by a stump, while the right hand rests on the head (Overbeck, Griech. Kunstmythologie^ pi. 22, fig. 39 ; for other examples and discussion of the type, see Overbeck, loc. ciL, text, iv., p. 208). The type corresponds with that of a figure of Apollo, which stood in the Lyceum at Athens, of unknown authorship, in which the god was represented as " leaning on a pillar, with a bow in his left hand and with the right hand bent above his head, as if he were resting from pro- longed labour " (Lucian, Anacharsis, 7). The type, in its severest and presumably earliest form (represented by this head), may perhaps date from the beginning of the fourth century. It was afterwards considerably modified and made weaker and more effeminate. The best-knuwn example ot the later developments is the " Apollino '' at Florence (Overbeck, loc, ciL, pi. 22, fig. 42).

On the top of the head are indications of the attachment of some object. This is doubtless where the hand of the god rested.

ARTEMIS, ETC.
1558. A statue of Artemis advancing to the front, draped in long chiton, with diploi'dion girt at the waist. The folds, which are deeply and elaborately wrought, are of extreme tenuity. The right arm (now restored) may originally have been drawing an arrow from a quiver behind the right shoulder, as may bo inferred from small holes, which prove the existence of a bronze object attached. The left hand perhaps held a bow. The type would thus very nearly resemble that of Artemis on gold and silver coins of Augustus, especially on a gold coin struck in the twelfth year of his reign. The head of this figure is made of a separate piece of marble, and is inserted in a socket in the neck. The hair is drawn up into a knot on the crown of the head after a fashion characteristic of A|)ollo and Artemis. — Towneley Coll.

1667. Endymion sleeping on Mount Latmus. A recumbent figure of a youth lying asleep on a rock ; his right hand is thrown behind his head, his left raised to his chin ; he wears a petasos, sandals laced half way up the calf, and a chlamye, on which he reclines ; the edge is drawn over his left thigh. This figure has been called Mercury on account of the petasos, and also Adonis ; but the sleep, the attitude of the right arm, and the general corre- spondence of the type with representations of Endymion on reliefs where the subject is certain, are sufficient grounds fur the present attribution. This pose of the right arm is specially mentioned in a description of Endymion by Lucian (Dial. Deor., xi., 2). — Roma Vecchia, Toicneley Coll.

raising his right arm over his head as if to strike the hound which is springing up his right thigh. Another hound crouches between his legs, his head thrown up with a fierce expression. The left hand of Actaeon is extended in an attitude, of amazement. He wears a lion's skin which is knotted round his neck, and hangs down over his left arm on the trunk of a tree attached to the left leg of Actaeon. Over the forehead of Actaeon are antlers, indicating his partial transformation into a stag. In the upper part of the head are a number of holes, some of them filled with lead, in which a metallic orna- ment has been inserted. Long hair rises in the middle of the brow, and falls on each side of the head.
The death of Actaeon is represented on one of the metopes of the later temple at Selinus, in a form some- what similar to that of the present work, which has been supposed (Furtwaengler, Satyr aus Pergamon, p. 9) to be derived from the Marsyas of Myron (5th cent. b.c. : cf. antey vol. i., p. 90). This type of Actaeon is also represented on the fragment of a fine cameo from the Payne Knight Collection (Cat of Gems, No. 776; cf. Nos. 777, 778), and on a painted vase (Cat, of Vases in the Brit, Mus., iv., F 176). 2nd cent. a.d. — Tovmeley Coll,

1671. Bust of Athen^. The head only is antique. The hair is brought back over the ears, and is tied in a club on the back of the neck. The head was made of two pieces of marble, united by a straight joint, and the upper piece is lost. There is no proof that there was originally a bronze helmet. The eyes, the sockets for which are now filled with plaster, were originally formed of some precious stone or vitreous substance. The ears are pierced for ear- rings.— Toumeley Coll,

1572. Clolossal helmeted head, restored as Athen^. The lower edge of the helmet, which is its only ancient part, is low on the forehead, so as to hide the hair, which is brought back, and falls down the neck. The sockets of the eyes are empty. There are holes in the ears for metal earrings, and in the edges of the helmet for cheek-pieces.
The head has been restored and interpreted as Athen^. It has been suggested that it may be a personification of Rome, but it appears to be a copy of a type of the 5 th cent. B.C. — TowneUy Coll,

APHRODITii.
1574. Statue of Aphrodite. The goddess stands, with the weight on the right leg, and with the left leg slightly drawn back. The face is turned to her left, and upwards. The hair is parted in the middle, and brought down at each side to a knot at the back. The left arm (now restored from the shoulder) is raised, while the right arm (restored from near the elbow, with some of the drapery over it) was bent near the right thigh. The goddess wears sandals, and has ample drapery round her legs and over the right arm. 2nd-lst cent. B.C. (?).
The base of the figure has been inserted in au antique moulded plinth. No replicas are known of this statue. It has been compared with the " Venus of Aries " in the Louvre, but it is reversed and otherwise differently com- posed. The restoration of the arms is therefore doubtful. It has been suggested that the figure held a mirror and some object of the toilet, and that it may be connected with the statue of Phryue, by Praxiteles, at Delphi (Furtwaengler). — Ostia, Toumeley Coll,
Parian marble, in two pieces, joined at the beginning of the drapery. Height, 6 feet 11^ inches (including plinth, which is 4| inches high). Restored : tip of nose, arms (see above), a piece of the left thigh, some of the toes, drapery over right arm, and some of the finer edges. Excavated by Gavin Hamilton, in 1775, in the niins of some Maritime Baths at Ostia. Fea, Relazione di un yp'ggio ad Ostia, p. 43, gives the name of the site as "la Capanna de' Bassi." Mus.

1575. Aphrodite. The type is that of the Cnidian Aphrodite of Praxiteles (4th cent. B.C.). The goddess stands, with the left knee slightly bent, holding in her left hand a large piece of drapery, which falls to a hydria beside her. The right hand, now wanting, was held before her middle. She is nude, with an armlet on the left upper arm. Her hair is tied by fillets, and is gathered to a mass at the back of her head, from which tresses fall down the neck. The figure stands on an irregular plinth. — Found in a well at Athena, 1810 (?).
Pentelic marble. Height (without plinth), 3 feet 4 inches. Re- stored : left forearm, and legs from knees to ankles. The right elbow is also mended. The face has been worked over. Arch. Anzeiger, 1899, p. 204. This figure (with No. 1579) was ob- tained in Greece by J. C. Uobhouse, afterwards 1st Lord Broughton (Hobhouse*s Travels (ed. 1855), I., p. 312). It was brought home by Lord Byron in the spring of 1811, and was purchased for the British Museum in 1898. For the type, see Michaelis, Joum. of HelUn.

1576. Statuette of Aphrodite. She stands on her right leg, with the left knee bent. She covers her middle with the right hand. A piece of drapery falls from her left hand, over a stump before which is a small amphora. The left forearm is wanting. A degraded example of the Cnidian type. — Antarados,

roacd it ; on the feet are sandals. There is no authority for the present action of the arms (restored). As the marble presents a slight projection on the right side of the chin, the left hand may have been raised to the face but it cannot have done more than touch the chin with the finger tips. From the disposition of the drapery, this figure was probably represented at the moment of undressing to enter the bath. The figure is let into an ancient plinth. — Towndey Coll.
Parian marble. Height, 3 feet 5 inches ; including pedestal, 3 feet 7 inches. Restored : both arms from the middle of the biceps, and the nose. The head has been broken off, but belongs to the statue. This figure was found, in 1775, in an excavation made by Gavin Hamilton, at Ostia. The place where it was found had been anciently used as a bath. Mus. Marbles, H., pi. 22 ; SpecimeiiSf II., pis, 14, 15; Joum, of Hellen, Studies, XXL, p. 316; Dallaway, pp. 306, 378; Ellis, Toum.

1678. Aphrodite. The type is that of the Venus in the Museum of the Capitol at Rome, but the execution is weak. The goddess stands on the left leg, with the right knee bent, having her left hand before her middle, and with the right hand touching her left breast. She looks to her left. The hair is gathered to a knot on the top of her head. Other tresses are brought to the back of the head, and fall on the shoulders. By her left side is a tall hydria, covered with drapery. — Presented, in 1834, by His Majesty King William the Fourth.

1579. Aphrodite. The type is that of the Medicean Venus. The goddess stands mainly on the left leg, with the right knee slightly bent. With the left hand she covers her middle, while the fingers of the right, now wanting, lightly touched the left breast. The hair is tied in a large knot on the top of the head, and is also brought back to a mass at the back. A loose tress falls on each shoulder. By her left side is a dolphin ridden by Eros (head wanting, right arm extended). The dolphin has a cuttlefish in his mouth. The style is mediocre, and the accessories are roughly finished. — Found in a well at Athens, in 1810 (?).
Pentelic (?) marble. Height (without plinth), 3 feet. Repaired, but not restored. This figure, like No. 1575, which compare, was obtained by J. C. Hobhouse in Greece, was brought home by Lord Byron, and was bought for the British Museum in 1898. Arch, Anzeiger^ 1899, p. 204.
1680. Torso of Aphrodite, from the neck to the knees. The figure stands on the left leg, the right thigh being slightly advanced. The left arm was extended higher than the shoulder, while the figure bends over, stretching out the right arm behind the thigh. It is probable that the figure was represented as loosing the sandal on the right foot, while the left arm was employed balancing the body. If so, the right knee must have been bent, so as to bring the foot within reach of the hand. This torso is finely modelled, but the surface has somewhat sufiFered from over polishing. The socket shows that the head was carved out of a separate piece of marble.
The subject of Aphrodite loosing her sandal is repre- sented in two types. The present figure is of the less

common type, in which the hand reaches to the foot behind the axis of the body. In the more usual types (compare Nos. 1417, 1581, 1582) the left thigh is ex- tended, and the foot is in front of the axis of the body. — Tovoneley Coll.

1681. Aphrodite unfastening her sandal. She stands on the right leg, with the left leg raised. The left hand is preserved resting on a support, perhaps a term, half covered with drapery. The right hand must have been extended towards the left foot. Both arms, the left foot and the right leg from the knee to the ankle are wanting. Late work. — Aniarados,

1583. Torso ot Aphrodite, finely modelled. The figure appears to have stood principally on the right leg, and to have been quite nude. The left thigh was somewhat raised.
Parian marble. Height, 2 feet 5 inches. Restored : left thigh. The marble is said to have been found at Antium about 1770. It was sold by Jenkins at Rome to Mr. Locke, of Norbury Park, who had it restored by the sculptor Wilton, and afterwards removed the restorations. For the restoration the fractures of the limbs were cut off straight. Mr. Locke sold the torso for about £800 to the third Duke of Richmond, about the year 1700. In 1791 the torso was burned and broken in a fire at Richmond House, and was again mended and restored by Wilton. In 1820, at a sale of lumber from Richmond House, the torso was sold for a guinea, and after it had changed hands it was bought by the British Museum in 1821.

This head is remarkable for the extent to which it retains traces of original colouring. The eyebrows, eye- lashes, and pupils of the eyes, are drawn in black. The hair was coloured with a yellow tint, which was also carried along the edge of the forehead, as if to make a softer transition from hair to flesh.
The remainder of the flesh surface is covered with a light pink coating, which is now of a perishable character.

The hair, parted in the centre of the forehead, and drawn back from the face in rich wavy lines, falls down the neck in loose tresses. The pupils of the eyes are represented by oval cavities. The joint at the base of the neck shows that this head has belonged to a statue. The style is large and simple.

HERMES.
1699. (Plate IV.) Statue of Hermes. A figure, somewhat larger than life, stands in an easy attitude with the weight thrown on the right leg, and having the left leg drawn back and lightly touching the ground. The body is considerably bent over to its left, while the head is turned a little downwards, and to its right. The right band rests against the right hip. The left arm is slightly bent, and the hand holds a caducous. The figure is nude except for winged sandals, and a small chlamys, which passes over the left shoulder and about the left arm.
38 CATALOGUE OF SCULPTURE.
The forehead is broad, with prominent brows, slightly knit ; the hair is short and curling, and is in part only roughly sketched out. The right leg touches the trunk of a tree.
This statue is one of several replicas of a lost original which must have been regarded as a work of importance. In the other examples, also, the figure is of the type of Hermes. In the case, however, of a statue which was found at Andros, and which is now in the National Museum at Athens, the sculpture once stood on a tomb. Since it has a snake wound round the tree stump, and since the caducous and winged sandals are wanting, that figure must probably be regarded as the statue of a dead person heroified under the type of Hermes. Compare the fable (No. 30) of Babrius, in which a sculptor carves a figure which one man wishes to buy for a stel^ for his deceased son, while another man wants it for a god. , Hermes himself remonstrates at the ambiguous purpose. The figure from Andros is of better work than the copies which were found in Italy.
Since the discovery of the Hermes and Dionysos of Praxiteles (cf. No. 2696) at Olympia, there can be little doubt that the original from which the present Graeco- Eoman statue was copied was by Praxiteles, or by a sculptor of his school.
The sinuously-curved pose of the figure is the same in each, with only such modifications as are required by the absence of a support under the left arm. The heads are very similar, both in type and in features. — Famese Coll.

When Marten van Heemskerck studied in Rome (circa 1535), this
HERMES. 39
statae was in the Casa Sassi. The collection in the Casa Sassi was sold to the Farnese family in 1546 by Decidio and Fabio Sassi, and the figure afterwards stood in the Farnese Palace at Rome (see Michaelis, in Jahrb. des Arch. Inst, 1891, pp. 170-172, Lanciani, Storia dcgli Scavi, I., p. 177). A comparison of Heems- kerck's sketch (Jahrbuch, p. 171), with the treaty of sale (Lanciani, p. 177), shows that this 6gure is the ** Marcus Aurelius " of Aldrovandi, Statue (1556), p. 151.

1600. (Plate III.) Head of Hermes (?). Beardless head, with heavy brows, and slightly parted lips. The hair surrounds the forehead and falls on the neck in small curls, bat elsewhere it is treated in a lumpy fasliion. It was encircled by a metal wreath, for the attachment of which numerous holes remain. The end of the nose is missing, and the head is broken off from a statue. A part of the back has been cut away.
This head has much in common with the Hermes of Praxiteles, especially in the treatment of the hair and brows, and it has even been regarded as an original work by the same sculptor. It lacks, however, the delicate and suave beauty of the Hermes, and some critics have pre- ferred to call it a young Heracles; but for this inter- pretation a square-built face and broader chin would be more appropriate. 4th cent.

The curly hair and prominent brows seem to bo derived from a fourth-century type (compare the Aberdeen head. No. 1600j, but the work is coarse, and rather rough. The treatment of the eyes is singularly vague, exaggerating a tendency which is seen in No. 1600.

A small mantle is twisted round the left arm of Herse, and, passing round her back, is drawn by her left hand over her right thigh. At the right side of the rock is the petasos of Hermes.
The name of Ilers^ was proposed by Winckelmann (HiaL de VArt, IV., 2) for fanciful reasons, and is very doubtful. Winckelmann quotes one hand of Hermes as an example of the antique treatment {Hist de VArt, IV., 4). — Famese Coll. ■

DIONYSOS.
1606. Statue of the bearded Dionysos. The god stands to the front with the right knee slightly bent, and the right arm (now wanting) extended to his right. He wears a long sleeved tunic falling to the ground, and a large cloak which passes about the body and over the left shoulder, and falls in deep folds to below the knees, and has sandals. The head is of the bearded type, with long flowing beard. The hair, confined by a wreath of ivy, is brought in long tresses over the ears, and falls on the shoulders. The back is flat and roughly sculptured. The flat joint and dowel hole remain, for the attachment of the right forearm.
The statue is a Graeco-Roman replica of a well-known work in the Vatican formerly called Sardanapallos, the name having been inscribed on it at a late period. The type has been assigned (by Welters, Jahrhuch des Inst., 1893, p. 179) to Kephisodotos. — Found at Posilippo,

1636. Dionysos and the Vine. Dionysos stands to the front, resting chiefly on the right leg, and leaning with his left arm on the shoulder of the vine. His forms are soft and effeminate ; he wears a wreath of ivy leaves and berries, and has long hair falling on the shoulders. A narrow band crosses the forehead. He also wears a panther- skin knotted on the right shoulder, and sandals. He holds up a cup in the (restored) right hand. The female figure associated with Dionysos is represented as if half- transformed into a vine, trained round the trunk of a tree. The two natures are subtly blended, the legs and thighs being incorporate with the trunk of the tree, and the body being overgrown with branches, leaves, and grapes of the vine. The face and arms are still mainly human, though a leaf is sprouting from the cheek. The hair is encircled with a vine-wreath laden with grapes. She looks up towards Dionysos, and holds up a bunch of grapes in her right hand. This group was called by Mr. Combe, Bacchus and Arapelus, but the transformed figure is certainly female, whereas Ampelus was a beautiful youth. It has been suggested (by Jahn and Michaelis) that the figure here represented is that of Ambrosiia, who, according to Nonnus (Diony*., xxi., 24), was changed into a vine.

1647. A youthful Satyr, looking up with a laughing ex- pression. The ears are pointed and he has small horns. Ho stands, with the right foot somewhat advanced, and wears a fawn skin, knotted on the left shoulder, and hanging down the right side. He holds a syrinx in the right hand, and a pedum in the left hand (both restored). A stump by his side (restored). — Towneley Coll.

1648. Statue of a young Satyr, probably pouiing wine. A slim nude figure, stands mainly on the left leg. The left arm (now wanting from the elbow) was advanced before the left thigh, and the right arm, now wanting from the deltoid, was lifted. Two projecting pieces on the side of the head and over the forehead, probably formed supports for the right hand, which may be supposed io have held a small jug, pouring out wine into a cup held out in the left hand. He has pointed ears and short curly hair, confined by a broad band, and a wreath with clusters of ivy berries. The head looks downwards towards the left hand. The tail is wanting, as usual in this class of figures. — From Castd Oandolfo.
Fine-grained marble. Height, 4 feet 9} inches. Unrestored. This statue was found with three others, all of which passed from the Chigi collection into the Augusteum at Dresden. It wa> obtained from that Museum in exchange for casts, in 1838.

Parian marble. Height of antique part, 2 feet 8J inches. Restored : neck and chin, and lower part in form of a term. The head, which is of a different marble from the body, probably does not belong to it, and there is no clear indica- tion that the original figure was of a terminal character.

1650. Young Satyr. The figure is worked nearly in the round, but was attached to a ground, on its front surface, so that the back of the figure was turned to the spectator. The Satyr is moving to the right. The head, forearms, and legs from the middle of the thii^hs are wanting.

The rock is marked as strongly stratified. The figure is broken away above the groin and below the knees. It is probably a young Satyr, since it is too spare for a young Dionysos.

1656. Satyr and infant Dionysos. A young Satyr stands on tiptoe, with the left foot advanced. He holds the babe Dionysos on his extended left hand. He wears a goatskin knotted on the left shoulder, and holds it over the left arm, with grapes and other fruit in the fold. He has budding horns, Satyr's ears, and a wreath of pine. His (restored) right arm is waving a pedum above his head. He looks laughingly towards the child on his hand, who holds a bunch of grapes in the left hand and lays the other upon the fruit. The child wears a wreath of ivy.
A tree stump beside the Satyr helps to support the left arm. Beside it is a panther, which looks upwards, with the right paw resting on a goat's head. A pair of cymbals are suspended from the stump. The group stands on a roughly-moulded antique base.
The restoration of the right arm is probably correct, since a part of the pedum is said to be antique, on a similar figure at Naples. It has also been suggested, with less likelihood, that the right arm may have held up a bunch of grapes, as in the accepted restoration of the Hermes of Praxiteles.
The group in its present form appears to be a combina- tion of two not very congruous motives, namely, the Satyr dancing on tiptoe, which is a common theme in the

later Attic reliefs, and the figure bearing an infant, which was introduced at the beginning of the fourth century and is familiar in the Hermes and Dionysos of Praxiteles. The result of the combination is not happy, since the general effect is that the group lacks stability and is overladen on the left side, where an elaborate artificial support is required. — Purchased from the Farnese Coll., 1864.
Parian marble. Height (with plinth), 5 feet IH inches. Restored : right arm of Satyr, with pedum, nose, feet, part of stump ; left hand and foot of child. This group is first known as in the possession of the Grand Duke of Tuscany (see AntifiUJrutn Staiuarum Urbis Jiomae Iconesy by G. B. Cavalieri and others, 1621, p. 100).

1657. Recumbent Satyr. This figure, in its present condition, represents a Satyr recumbent on a small rock, with the legs extended and the body thrown back, in a position in which it is hardly possible to maintain a balance. The figure, however, originally formed part of a group repre- senting a Satyr struggling with a N3'niph. who repels his advances. The female figure has perished, all but traces of two fingers of the left hand, which are pressed against the face of the Satyr. The head of the Satyr was originally encircled with a diadem or other ornament of metal, the holes for which still remain ; a piece of draper}' covers the rock.
The plinth of the statue is antique; on the upper surface of it is engraved a canon or scale of measurements.

PAN.
1666. (Plate VII.). Paniskos, or young Pan. Youthful nude figure standing, with the right foot advanced, and with the head inclined to his left. He has pointed ears and short horns ; he holds a jug in the left hand (restored) and a cup in the right hand (restored). There is a stump by his right side, which is inscribed in Greek letters with the signature of the artist, Marcus Cossutius Cerdo, [Mda]pKO<; [Ko(r]<rov[Ti]o? KdpStov iiroUi (cf. No. 1667, where the artist is described as a freedman of Marcus). From the style of the inscription the work is assigned to the beginning of the Roman Empire. An inscription, formerly in the Villa Borghese (Hermes^ xxii., p. 156), makes it not improbable that the artist was a fellow-freed man with Menelaos, the pupil of Stephanos.
The sn)all horns of this figure show that it represents the human type of Pan, which forms a strong contrast to the goat-legged type of the same deity, of which examples are described below. It is convenient to dis- tinguish these types as Pan and Aegipan. — Towneley Coll.

EROS.
1672. Torso of Ero8(?). A youth stands on the left leg with the right leg drawn back. The head is wanting, bnt the long hair falls down on the shoulders. Both arms are lost from the elbows ; the right forearm was a separate piece, united by a joint. The figure wears a strap belt across the body, which has been left in relief, by cutting away the surface of the adjoining flesh. Tt dies away at the back. The traditional name of Eros has been questioned, on account of the absence of wings, and that of Apollo has been proposed instead (Friederichs).

dedicated at Thespiae by Phryn^. It has also been suggested that the prototype of these copies was the bronze Eros of Lysippos, also at Thespiae (cf. Furt- waengler, in Roscher's Lexikon, vol. i., p. 1362). There are, however, no real grounds for either assumption. The arrangement of the hair is characteristic of a later period of art, if not, indeed, entirely unknown to the earlier schools. The question has been discussed whether the bow is that of Eros, or whether with the lion's skin it symbolises the power of Eros over the strength of Heracles, who has been robbed of his bow. This interpretation is pro- bably untenable. The same idea is represented in a more unambiguous way by giving Eros a club, but here there i^ nothing in the size of the bow, or the apparent difficulty of holding it, to show that it is that of Heracles. — Toumeley Coll,
Parian marble. Height, I foot 11^ inches. Restored: small parts of lion's mask and plinth. This statuette was found by Gavin Hamilton, in 1776, at Castello di Guido, the supposed site of the ancient Lorinm, where Antoninus Pius died, and which is situated on the road to Civitk Vecchia, about eight miles from Rome. The body and wings were found enclosed in an amphora, on which account the surface of these parts is in very fine condition. The wings were broken off at the shoulders, and the feet, quiver, and pedestal were lying in the earth at a short distance from the body.

1676. Statuette of Eros, riding on a dolphin to the front, with his head turned to our left. The tail of the dolphin is twisted about a rudder which is for the most part broken away. The complete group, of which this ij a fragment, probably contained a figure of Aphroditd supporting herself by the rudder (cf. Nos. 1417, 1580), and with Eros on the dolphin by her side. The figure appears to have formed part of a fountain, as a bronze tube passed through the rudder. Both arms, and the left leg of Eros are wanting. Roman period. — Egypt.

He has his legs crossed, and his head on his left shoulder ; in front of him is a club, and behind him are a bow and arrows in a bow-case, all three attributes of Heracles.

1678. Eros represented as a winged infant reclining, asleep ; in his right hand, a knotted wreath, with long strands. His head rests on an amphora, in the mouth of which a pipe has been fixed, showing that the statue served as a fountain. The object in the hand has hitherto been regarded as a bunch of poj>py-heads, and in that case we should have a blending of the types of the sleeping Cupid and of the infant god of sleep, such as often occurs in late Graeco-Homau art, though in some iD stances the latter is distinguished by small wings on the head. — Tarsus,

1679. (Plate VI.) Head of a boy, perhaps Eros, with short hair, roughly sketched out, and a smiling expression. Tl^e teeth are seen between the slightly parted lips. This head is worked in the round, but with loss detail on the right side. Moreover, the drawing of the face, when seen from the front, is faulty. It is therefore probable that the head belonged to a group, perhaps of Aphrodite and Eros, in which the left side was chiefly presented to the spectator.
The date of the work has been disputed, but it seems to be a somewhat hasty work of a comparatively early period, perhaps the fourth century. — From Paphos. Pre- sented by the Cyprus Exploration Fund.

1685. Statue of Thalia, the Muse of Comedy. She stands with the left leg bent, and with the weight principally on the right leg. She looks to her right. The right arm is extended and rests on a shepherd's crook (pedum), of which the curved end presses against the right thigh. The left hand holds up the folds of a mantle which passes about the body and over the left arm. She also wears sandals, and a long chiton, with sleeves fastened by studs. It is girt below the breasts, and confined by strings crossed on her back so as to pass over the shoulders and under the arms. Her head is crowned with ivy, the hair falling down the neck below the bosom. — Towneley ColL

At his left side is the boy Telesphoros, the subordinate therapeutic deity who had charge of con- valescent patients. The boy was closely draped in a hood. From his neck hangs a square tablet or packet, which may represent the case in which was kept a charm or amulet (compare the Telesphoros on an ivory diptych, MuUer-Wieseler, Denkmaeler^ ii., pi. 61, fig. 792, who is unrolling a scroll).

1708. Cybeld (?). Female head, wearing a mural crown. The hair is gathered on each side of the head to a knot at the back. The head is slightly inclined to its right. It has been called Oybel^, but may be the head of a City personified. The sockets of the eyes are hollow, and have probably been filled with vitreous partes. The ears are pierced for earrings, and the remains of iron nails in the hair indicate that a metallic ornament, now lost, was attached to the head. — Toumeley Coll.

The head-dress is a variety of the Phrygian cap, having on each side a strap fastened by a string over the top of the head, and one broad flap behind, covering the long tresses.

NYMPHS.
1710. Nymph of Artemis (?). This figure, which is rather smaller than life, is seated on the ground on an oval moulded base. She is supported on her left hand, while her right hand is extended forward. She wears a chiton girt at the waist^ fastened by studs, which droops from the left shoulder, leaving the breast exposed. On the
ATYS; NYMPHS. 81
base, which is antique, lies a how terminating at the ends in Gryphon's heads. To obtain relief for this bow, the original surface of the base has been reduced, and, on this account, it has been erroneously supposed that the bow is a later addition. The position and action of the figure at once suggest that she was represented playing at the game of knuckle-bones, astragali. The right hand being a restoration, its original action is ascertained by a com- parison with other figures of the same type, of which several are extant. The author of the original work is unknown. The game of knuckle-bones was a favourite subject for representation, as shown by the variety of known types. For figures of girls, compare the cast of a Lycian relief (vol. i., No. 765), a terracotta group in the Brit. Mus. (D 161 ; Heydemann, pi. 2, tig. 1), and a painting on marble from Herculaneum (Robert, Knochel- spielerinnen des Alexandros). For boys playing at the game, cf.

This figure, and one similar to it (see below (<?)) were found in May 1706 in the Villa Verospi, near the Siilarian Gate at Rome. On the spot where these statnes were discovered were the remains of a fountain in the form of a crescent, richly ornamented with marbles and mosaics, to the decoration of which these figures may have contributed.

1711. Water Nymph, or Naiad, recumbent. She reclines on rocky ground to the right, with the left arm supported by a vase, from which water is flowing. A mantle is spread over the left arm, about her legs, and over the rocks. The head (not original) wears a crown with open- work of palmettes, pierced. The hair of the present head is tied in a club at the back, while that of the original head falls freely down the back. She weara armlets.
Marble. Height, 1 foot 7} inches ; length, 3 feet 6} inches. Ke- stored : left hand with vase, and some of drapery, right elbow, parts of right hand, right foot, hip and shoulder. The toes of the left foot are wanting. The head is antique, but manifestly does not belong to the figure. The vase being modem, the subject is conjectured, but is established by replicas elsewhere, as for instance at Lansdowne House. Kills, Town.

1712. Female head from a statue, turned slightly to its right. The sockets of the eyes are hollow, having been originally filled in with ivory or some other material in imitation of nature. The hair, flowing from the forehead in long wavy lines, is gathered up over the top of the head and falls in a large tress behind. A narrow fillet passes round the head, arid the ears are pierced for earrings. No certain name can be assigned to the he^id. It is possible that a Water Nymph is represented. — Towneley Coll,

HECATi: AND LUNA.
1714. Statue of Hecate. This triple statue is composed of three female figures draped to the feet, with long chiton and diploidion girt at the waist. Their heads are severally surmounted by a crescent-shaped ornament; above which is a modius, composed of three cylinders, placed round a larger central column. This triple modius is covered with scales. The triple form of Hecate was probably first connected with the varying phases of the moon, and subsequently with the three regions of her in- fluence, Heaven, Earth, and Sea, or Heaven, Earth, and the Lower World. The (restored) attributes of the keys and cords denote her functions as warder of the infernal regions.
Round the base is inscribed a dedication by Aelius Barbarus, freedman of the Emperors and bailiff (villicus) of the place where the statue was dedicated. Aelius Barbarus Augustoru[m] Ubertus, vilicus huius hci, D[ianae f] d[onum] p[osuit] (Mommsen). 2nd-3rd cent. a.d. (?). — Toicneley (JolL

The drapery consists of an over and tinder tunic, and a mantle which passes over the modius and about the shoulders. The bust stands on a moulded base, from which it was separated by a globe (of which only part remains). The style is rude and late.
Limestone. Height (without base), 1 foot 9 inches. Restored : half the base. The bust is perhaps intended for Isis.
SPHINX.
1719. Sphinx, seated. It has a female head. The hair, parted in front, is drawn back, and fastened in a knot behind. The body resembles that of a gi-eyhound, but with longer and sharper claws ; the tail is that of a lion. Large spread wings are attached to the front of the shoulders ; the breast is covered with feathers. Between the wings is a square shaft of marble, which rises from the back. A similar Sphinx formed the central support of a table found at Pompeii. lst-2nd cent. a.d. (?). — Towneley Coll.

1721. (Fig. 11.) Mithraic group. The god Mithras is kneel- ing on a prostrate bull, drawing back its head with his left hand, and stabbing it behind the shoulder with a short sword. A dog and a snake are springing up to drink the blood of the victim; a scorpion seizes the scrotum with its claws. Mithras wears a Phrygian cap, trousers reaching to the ankles, a garment with sleeves reaching nearly to the knees, over which is an upper garment reaching to the hips and drawn up over the girdle. From his shoulders hangs a cloak, fastened by a circular brooch on the right shoulder; on his feet are sandals ; at his right side hangs the scabbard of his sword, ornamented with a raised pattern. Behind the bull are two small figures similarly attired, and representing, apparently, priests of Mithras. One holds an inverted torch in his right hand ; the other, who stands nearer the bull, may also have held an inverted torch, in his left hand, now restored as holding the bull's tail ; his right

This statue of Heracles Epitrapezios (or Heracles on the table) corresponds to the description of the figure said by tradition to have been made by Lysippos for Alexander. I'hat figure sat on a rock, covered with the lion's skin, holding a cup in the right hand, and the club in his left.

1732. Head of beardless Heracles. The hair is short and curly, and grows upright from the forehead ; the head is encircled by a diadem, partially concealed under the hair ; the ears are bruised and broken, which was the character- istic of ancient pugilists. This head represents a very fiue type of Heracles, and is somewhat similar to the heads, half portrait and half ideal, on the coins of the Macedonian kings. — Toicneley Coll.

Marble. Height, 0} inches.
1734. Colossal bust of Heracles. Bearded head of middle age, of the type of Heraoles in a modified degree, with low swollen forehead. The head is slightly bent forward and to its left. The hair and beard are, for the most part, worked in hhort curly locks of a conventional character (compare tJie relief, No. 2207). The moustache is long and less curly. The eyebrows are prominent, with hair indicated. This head is evidently either a copy of an early original, or deliberately archaistic. The type of the head, which is not that of an archaic Heracles, the elaborate undercutting of the hair and extensive use of the drill, the details of the treatment of the eyes and eye- lids, and the }>lace of discovery combine to show that the work is archaistic and probably of the 2nd cent. a.d.

This curious figure has not been satisfactorily identified with any known mythological type, and even the sex has been disputed.

Parian marble. Height, 2 feet 9 inches. Restored : small part of foot of term. Discovered, in 1775, among some ruins, about six miles from Tivoli on the road to Praeneste.

Abhand- lungen, I., p. 365), and Payne Knight (in Specimens, /. c. ; Inquiry, p. 67). The latter identified it with the Phoenician Venus Architis, on insufficient grounds. It was identified as Heracles by Friederichs (^Bausteine, No. 728), and as Heracles or Theseus by K. O. Muller (ffandbuch, ed. Welcker, p. 583). Wolters {Bausteine, No. 1535) suggests Hermes, comparing a Pompeian example (Overbeck, Pompeii, 4th ed., p. 101, fig. 53).

1743. Head of Perseus. Male head, turned towards its left shoulder, and inclined slightly forwards, while the eyes look upwards. The hair issues in curls from under a close-fitting cap, comi)osed of overlapping feathers, like the scales of an aegis. Above the right temple is a folded bird's wing ; above the left temple is a deeply-cut groove for a second wing. A depression in the middle may have been intended for the insertion of an eagle's head. There is an exaggerated tension in the tendons of the neck. Perhaps a copy of a fifth-century work. The head appears to be calculated for the view of its right side Seen from the front it is out of drawing.

1745. Midas (?). Terminal Satyric figure playing on a flute. The figure has a long pointed beard, and hair falling in conventional tresses on the shoulders. The head is en- circled with a stephan^. The ears are pointed. The figure wears a chiton with sleeves fastened down the arm with studs. The chiton falls low down on the term, showing its square form beneath the drapery, and is girt at the waist. The flute, which is of the kind called plagiaulos, obliqua iibiay having the mouthpiece at one side
MISCELLANEA. 99
of the tube, is played with both hands. Three similar Untes are preserved in the Museum collection.
It is believed that there is no other extant example of this type ; but it is nearly allied to that of two terms in the Lateran Museum (see Garrucci, Mus. Lat., pi. 26 ; Benndorf and Schone, Ant. Bildw. d. Lai, Mus., pp. 105, 106, Nos. 181, 188), which, however, differ in having horns over the forehead, and therefore probably represent Pan. This figure, which was called Pan by Combe, has also been conjecturally named Midas ( Jahn) and Hyagnis, the father of Marsyas (Panofka). On the whole, there seem to be fair grounds for Jahn's attribution of Midas for this figure, because, according to Pliny (jff.iV., vii., 57), he was the inventor of the plagiaulos, an instrument else- where attributed to Pan (Bion, Jrf., v., 7). This statue seems to be the copy or adaptation of an archaic work by an artist of the first century, working in an archaistic style. The original terra, like other early representa- tions of deities, may have been clad in actual drapery. — Toumeley Coll,

arm (restored) was bent at the elbow ; the left arm holds a piece of drapery. The figure wears a long chiton, with a diploidion fastened by circular brooches on the shoulder, and sandals. The hair is brought in foi-mal waves down each side of the head and falls down the neck. The figure wears three necklaces, circular rosette earrings, and a bracelet on the left wrist. On the head is a tall basket (calathos) ornamented with palmettes and rosettes (cf. vol. i., p. 147, note).
This statue, with a companion figure now in the Vatican (Glarac, iii., pi. 444, No. 814), was formerly in the Villa Montalto, afterwards the Villa Negroni. When the collections in that villa were bought by Jenkins, in 1786, it passed into Townley*s possession.
The questions of its meaning and destination are closely connected with that of the site where it was found. The two figures are said to have been discovered in the reign of Pope Sixtus V. (1685-1690) amongst some ruins on ground belonging to the Strozzi family, in the place where three Caryatids of the Villa Albani were found, about 1766. This spot is described by Winckolmann as two miles from the gate of S. Sebastian, beyond the tomb of Caecilia Metella. The point thus defined happens to be the position of the third milestone from the Porta Capena (see plans, Mon, deW Inst,, v., pis. 67, 68). Now it is known from an inscription {C,LO,, 26 ; Eaibel, Inscr, Oraecae, xiv., 1390) that the sanctuary of the Triopian or Cnidian Demeter, founded by Herodes Atticus (about 166 A.D.) on the death of his wife, Begilla, was placed '^at the third mile on the Appian Way," and an important series of inscriptions (Eaibel, loc, dt. No. 1389) relating to the sanctuary was found near the tomb of Metella. Hence the conjecture, first made by Brunn (Or. Kiinsiler, i., p. 660), that this group of sculptures belonged to the Triopeion, becomes very probable. It may be mentioned
MISCELLANEA. 101
that the form of the calathos is very nearly that which is known to have been used in the shrine of Demeter at Cnidos (cf. No. 1312, Newton, HisL Diac, ii., pi. 58, fig. 12), and hence it is likely that this figure was a Canephora of Demeter. The Caryatids of the Villa Albani compnso two statnes and a head, which is said to be attached to a body with which it has no connexion (Brunn, Denkmaeler, No. 254; Bulle, Rom. Miitheilungen, 1894, p. 134). The shaft behind the head is inscribed with the names of the Athenian artists, Griton and Nicolaos, in lettering of the Empire.
Certain architectural remains and fragments of relief were found at the same time. Piranesi, who was present at the discovery, has restored the structure as a portico of a small temple with Caryatids (^Vasi e Candelabri, ii., pi. 68). A memorandum, however, of Townley's says that he was informed by competent persons at Bome that no facts or circumstances ever existed to verify Piranesi's conjecture.
Replicas of two of the figures and of the head of a third have been found at Athens, and from the traces at the back of these sculptures it seems probable that they were used in connexion with an architectural arrangement. It is, however, uncertain whether the figures stood free, like the Caryatids of the Erechtheion, or whether they were placed immediately in front of a wall.
Criton and Nicolaos were probably artists of the second century a.d., but their work appears to be based on an older model, which has been conjectured to belong to the close of the fifth century (Bulle), or to the school of Praxi- teles or Scopas (Furtwaengler). — Towneley Coll.

ATHLETES, AND SUBJECTS FROM LIFE.
1747. Athletic figure, standing to the front, with the weight on the right leg. The figure is nude, except for a chlamys with a fibula on the left shoulder. The chlamys originally continued nearly to the knee. The right arm is lost from the elbow, and the left from the middle of the forearm. The features are ideal and of a somewhat conventional character. The pose of the figure has probably been altered by the restoration, which throws the weight too much on the heels.
The statue is described by Furtwaengler as a work of the school of Calamis, contemporary with Pheidias, about 440 B.C. This seems, however, to be too early, and the nearest parallel is the statue of the athlete Agias of Pharsalos^ attributed on the strength of a probable com- bination of inscriptions to Lysippos. — Famese Coll,, 1864.

1749-1751. Fragments of a Chariot Group. The following fragments are portions of a considerable series, excavated by the late Lord Savile, at Civita Laviiiia. The frag- ments were too incomplete to allow a complete reconstruc- tion of the group. They were described by Lord Savile as an equestrian group, of which fragments of seven horses were found, "showing that the composition probably consisted of a chariot with four horses, with two attendant warriors on either side," the whole being similar to the group of a chariot and horsemen on coins of Trajan, showing the Basilica Ulpia. " The excavatioos have dis- closed five torsos in armour and a sixth dressed in a tunic and mantle" (No. 1751), "which may have been that of the charioteer, in addition to which have been found the pendant sandaled foot of a rider, part of a saddle-cloth, numerous legs and hoofs, and portions of tails of hordes '* {Archaeologia, liii., p. 150 ; cf. ihid.^ xlix., p. 375). As, however, the figures would seem to have been cut off at the middle, the composition may have been more akin to
