The motives in the upper part of the plate I have not been able to
identify. The two in the lower portion are, Dr. Egger informs me,
undoubtedly taken from paintings in the portion of the Golden House of
Nero which was buried beneatli the Baths of Trajan, though it is
impossible to identify them with certainty with any of the plates in Mirri
and Carletti's Anticke Cainere delle Tenne di Tito (Rome, 1776). This,
however, is not surprising, having regard to the difficulties of drawing roof
decorations at a great height and by artificial light.
163. (31') ) These are both fantastic subjects, perhaps of the
164. (33) Back blank/ artist's own invention.
165. (34) Back blank.
A design copied from a mosaic pavement.
