(20.) Bust of Antinous.—The head, which is from a
statue of heroic size, has been set on a modern bust. It is
executed in Parian marble, and is a fine specimen of the
sculpture of the period of Hadrian. Antinous is here
represented with the ivy crown of Bacchus, with whose
attributes he is constantly invested in ancient art. The
tip of the nose, part of the chin, and some of the ivy leaves
and curls of the hair have been restored.

(21.) Bust of Sabina, the wife of Hadrian.—The nose
and bust restored; the hair is plaited and built up into
an elaborate structure, according to the grotesque fashion
of the period, which is alluded to by Juvenal in a well-
known passage. There is a singular moroseness in the
expression of the countenance, which corresponds with the
character of this Empress as given by Spartianus.

(22.) Bust of a Young Man, with an inscription on
the pedestal, stating that the bust was dedicated by the
Decemviri stlitibus judicandis. These officers presided in
the Court of the Centumviri. The sculpture is probably of
the times of the Antonines, and hence it has been conjec-
tured that the bust represents either Marcus Aurelius or
Commodus as a young man. It is in good condition, none
of the features having suffered any injury. It was found
in some excavation at Bonie, and was probably conveyed
