The differentiation of
associated that might be regarded as diverse manifestations of the
same power, whether divine or human. Accordingly Zeus Amnion
was paired with Dionysos1 or with a Satyr'2 or with Sarapis (?)3;
Zeus wearing an oak-wreath and acorns, with Hermes (?) wearing
a winged hat like a helmet4. Cicero's Hermeraclae* may mean no
more than 'herms of Herakles6.' But the actual
grouping Ianus-wise of Hermes with Herakles
is sufficiently attested by an as of the gens
Rubria, struck c. 86 B.C. (fig. 2g6)7, perhaps also
by a double bust in the Vaticans. Another bust
in the same collection couples a youthful Hermes,
wearing a petasos, and a bearded Dionysos, with
wings on his head9. One in the Cabinet de
France joins a bearded Dionysos, with head-wings and a diadem, to
a beardless Satyr, wearing an ivy-wreath1". Another at Berlin com-
bines a bearded Dionysos and a beardless Satyr, both crowned with
ivy11. Yet another, in the Fitzwilliam Museum at Cambridge, shows
an ivy-wreathed Silenos together with a bay-wreathed Apollon
(fig. 297)12. We find a Janiform arrangement even of a tragic and
