supporting a statue on the left undoubtedly was
built for that purpose; but it possibly might
have been an equestrian or other group, since
the plan of the pedestal is not square. The
statue is from one found in the city. Under it
is a road, supposed to have branched off to
Nola; another, on the right, conducted to the
sea. Over the latter is the monument (15):
before this the / seat of the priestess Mamia,
which is separated from another semi-circular
seat by a tomb (17). The JSdiculum joins the
gateway.
As a general observation, it may be remarked that in
this view every thing beneath the horizontal line
is certain: above it, only partly so.
