lssued by Septimius Severus (fig. 330)1, Macrinus (fig. 331)2, and
^hilippus Senior (figs. 332, 333)3. The design unites two consecutive
Scenes. On the right, an ark inscribed NOE floats on the waters of

flood. Its lid is open, and from it Noah and his wife look out.
P°n the lid perches the raven, and towards it flies the dove with
^n olive-twig in its claws. On the left, Noah and his wife stand on
ry ground, uplifting their hands in gratitude to God for their
escaPe. This pictorial type4 presupposes some famous original,
Perhaps a frescoed Stoa5, perhaps an illustrated Pentateuch6.
