(8.) Head, thought to be the Young Augustus,
but perhaps representing Caligula. The end of the nose
is broken off, but the head is otherwise in good condition.
Ht. 1 ft. H in. Presented by the Rev. Greville Chester, 1870.
(9.) Statue of Roman Consul [?].—The figure is of
heroic size, clad in a tunic and the which is wrapped
round the body, passing over the left shoulder and arm and
hand. The right arm is muffled in drapery. The left hand,
which is restored, holds a roll. The feet are covered with
close-fitting shoes, over which is drawn a kind of loose gaiter,
reaching from the instep to above the ankle. The head
has been rejoined, but appears to belong to the figure.
The hair is cut short, and has a tendency to baldness on
the forehead. The beard is short and thick. The features
are those of a man of middle age. The drapery is well
composed, and the statue is probably of the Augustan
period. The personage whom it represents has not yet
been recognized. Restorations, nose, left hand with roll.
Ht. 7 ft. 3^ in. Presented by W. P. Williams Freeman, Esq.,
1854. Caldesi, Pt. III., No. 1.
(10.) Head of Claudius.—This head was discovered
by Mr. R. P. Pullan, in 1870, on the floor of the
Temple of Athene Polias at Priene, under the ruins of
the temple. The surface of this head, like that of the
other sculptures discovered in this temple by Mr. Pullan,
has been blackened and injured by contact either with
burning timber or charcoal, probably the result of some
conflagration on the destruction of the temple.
This head, which has been put together out of several
fragments, is in a very fine style. The loss of the nose,
and of the back of the head, injures its appearance very
much. It has evidently belonged to a statue, the base of
the neck being rounded for insertion into a socket.
