VIGNETTES.

this inscription, that in the upper gallery were wooden benches ; probably for those spectators
who had no fixed places on the marble seats. The amphitheatre was already verging to a state of
decay in the time of Theodoric; the stones which had fallen being used as materials for repairing
the walls of Rome.
On No. 4 of the same Plate is a Tessera of bronze, bearing in relief the words Jt^ooiov oyhoov, or
admission to the eighth Cuneus on the seats appropriated to the citizens. On No. 1 of the same
Plate is a medal of silver, having the double hatchet, the symbol of Jupiter of Labranda, referred
to in the description of Mylassa; this, 'with the Eagle on the title-page, and the Vignettes of
bronze, affixed to the introductory dissertation, are engraved from Mr. Knight's cabinet.
At the head of the Chapter of iEgina, are medals of that island.
The medal of Eleusis finishes the Antiquities of Greece contained in this volume.
The remaining Vignettes consist of two allegorical subjects from tiles of terra cotta, in Mr.
Townley's collection. The view of the Theatre of Miletus on the banks of the Menander, closes
the work.
The Society are indebted to Sir Robert Ainslie for the two views of the Theatre of Patara, that
of Gastell Rosso, and of Macri or Telmessus, which are taken from drawings by Mr. Myers, in his
possession, and finished under his inspection.
The rest of the views have been engraved from drawings of the late Mr. Pars, belonging to the
Society.
The architectural designs from those of Mr. Revett.
The Society cannot conclude these Volumes, without acknowledging the great assistance they
have received, in the prosecution of their inquiries into the ancient state of Greece and Ionia, from
the learned and valuable researches of Dr. Chandler, in his travels through those countries; more
particularly from the interesting volume of Inscriptions collected by him, and given to the public.
