SCALA II. 3, 4
woman is dressed in a tunic and a mantle which covers her shoulders.
The man wears a toga with rt77;/<3<%?/A2/z'c'. Heads and faces roughly
blocked out and probably intended to be finished to order.
Below the clipeus a pastoral scene. To the 1. a bearded man,
dressed in an Mro/zzA, seated to the r. on a basket, milking a goat.
Another goat is partly seen beyond the first. To the r. a youth, dressed
in an girt at the waist, leans on a knotted staff with his legs
crossed, and plays on the Pan's pipes.
At each corner a figure standing to front. To the 1. stands a woman
dressed in tunic and mantle, with hair parted and waved to the sides, and
a curl on each shoulder; her r. arm crosses her breast; with her r. hand
she holds a fold of the mantle; her 1. arm hangs down, and with the
hand she grasps her mantle above the 1. thigh; the hands alone are bare.
To the r. a bearded man, dressed in a mantle which leaves his breast,
r. arm, and shoulder bare, and falls from his 1. shoulder over his 1. arm.
At each end an ordinary symbolic winged griffin, almost effaced.
The two standing figures are Greek types ; that of the woman, a
modification of the so-called ' smaller female figure from Herculaneum
that of the man is derived from a philosopher type of the Hellenistic
period. Pastoral scenes are common on sarcophagi, both Christian and
pagan, of the Imperial period. Both clipeate group and pastoral scene
belong to the class of sarcophagi represented by Garrucci, tav. 314, g
(sarc. in Lateran). For the pastoral scene and its history cf. H. Leclerc,
CAAAz;/,?, 1907, pp. 288 ff., with reff. The sarco-
phagus is rubbed as if it had been pushed into a niche. The shallow holes
near the top of the lateral panels cannot be satisfactorily explained.
Moderate work of the third century A.D.
Found between Porta Salaria and Porta Pinciana, just outside the
city walls.

4. RELIEF WITH SACRIFICE OF MARCUS AURELIUS BE-
FORE TFIE TEMPLE OF JUPITER CAPITOLINUS(pl. 12 and fig. 1).
II. 3.14 m., Br. 2'io m. Luna marble. Breakages* : the slab has been broken
right across at about one-third of its height from the top ; the portion above this
fracture has likewise been broken in an oblique line which runs from the top to the
main horizontal breakage and passes between the two buildings. Restored (from 1. to
r.)—First figure : nose and part of upper lip. Second figure : nose, patch on forehead,
r. eyebrow and part of 1., lower part of arm with the hand and the end of the garment.
Third figure : intact. Emperor : whole of r. arm from the drapery, and patches of
drapery hanging from the r. shoulder. (N.B. head unbroken, but plaster patches
in neck under beard.) Flamen: intact. Camillus : nose, 1. thigh with drapery, the
1. hand with about two-thirds of the box of the arzrrra and the left corner of its lid.
Tripod: the bowl and the two feet (save a small antique piece in the middle).
UzWz'zzzzzrz'zzr : nose, 1. breast, 1. arm from below shoulder, with axe. Flutepiayer:
nose, lips, and chin, 1. hand from above wrist, and pipe; the r. hand has been broken
from base and not restored. Bull: both horns and 1. ear, nose. Attendant's tray
* Every effort has been made to ascertain the nature of the breakages and the
restorations, but this is extremely difficult in the present condition of the reliefs (cf.
Stuart Jones in V. Z?. V. 7?. iii,p. 263). They seem at one time to have received a coat
of brownish paint, still adhering in parts to 7.
