given as 12 feet (the central one as 20 feet), and this would make the oot hardly
0*27 metre. The artist, whoever he may be, appears only to have copied some original
which is not known to me : for upon the same leaf he has drawings of the capital of the
pilasters of the Basilica Aemilia and of its Doric entablature, the former of which is
entitled ' firuluario,' the latter 'cornice di Farabino '—both corruptions of the name Foro
Boario (often, applied to the ruins of this building by sixteenth-century artists—see
Lanciani, Storia degli Scavi, i. 94). But it cannot be assumed that the differences between
his representation of the Caryatid and that of Coner are due to carelessness on his part,
for Giuliano da Sangallo's drawing possesses, as we have seen, precisely the same
characteristics. It is a curious fact, however, that both Giuliano da Sangallo and Coner
show the same kind of plinth, and, further, that while the former has, immediately below
the front view of the figure, another view in profile, Coner places immediately below the
plinth a moulding which suggests the top of the capital of the head beneath. (The heads
in profile, which are drawn in pencil on the lower part of the leaf, are on a larger scale.)
But these considerations can hardly outweigh the differences already noted. We must,
therefore, suppose either that Coner has in this case rendered his subject with far less
accuracy than is usually the case, or that both these Caryatids belonged to the same
building (probably some part of the Forum of Augustus): and there seems to be no reason
why so slight a difference in type should make the latter theory an impossible one.
P. 59, 1. 4 sqq.—This paragraph applies only to the Caryatid drawn by Coner.
P. 61, No. 123. —Dr. Egger informs me that this capital probably belongs to the villa of Hadrian
near Tibur ; and the expression 'a tibure' may have this meaning in other cases.
