(19.) Statue of Hadrian in military costume.—The
whole right arm, the left arm from below the shoulder,
both legs and the plinth, the upper part of the fringe below
the cuirass and part of the neck are restored. It is doubtful
whether the head belongs to this statue. The cuirass is
richly decorated with reliefs; in the centre of the breast
is a Gorgon's head ; below, a winged female figure,
Fortune or Victory, holding in her right hand a palm-
branch, in her left a cornucopia, below which a reclining
female figure, the lower half of which is restored; her
lower limbs are draped; in her lap are fruits. This
figure may represent Abundantia, or the inhabited earth.
On the right and left of this central composition are two
captives, each kneeling at the foot of a trophy; the one
on the right wears a Phrygian cap ; the trophy beside him
is composed of a helmet, cuirass, oblong shield, and a round
buckler; the figure on the left, who may represent a
Dacian, has his hands tied behind his back; his beard
