[The man-headed bull is a common coin-type of Campania, and represents Dionysos
Hebon (see Roscher, i. pp. 1057 and 1149) ; and this vase is undoubtedly of Campanian
manufacture. A similar man-headed bull by a laver is to be seen on a fragment of a vase
from the Acropolis at Athens, Athen. Mittheil. xiv. (1889), p. 333. Others have interpreted
this figure as a water-god carrying a nymph : see Arch. Zcit. 1862, p. 326, note 46 ; Stephani,
Compte-Rendu, 1S63, p. 118. See also on the subject, Frazer, Golden Bough, i. p. 325,
ii. pp. 38, 43.]
