lictor wears over the short military tunic the fringed cloak or yuyzzz/z
appropriate outside Rome or on the occasion of a triumph (see on no. 7)
and carries his fasces against his 1. shoulder. The type of the face with
the short curly hair and closely-cropped beard recalls the portraits of the
Hadrianic period (cf. the portrait signed by Zenas in the Capitoline
Collection). On the feet are low boots—a species of reaching to
just above the ankle, often seen on the Trajan column (see Saglio, s. v.
fig. 1033). Of the first standard-bearer only the head is visible
with the lion-skin helmet tied in front under the chin ; he holds a
standard composed of two mushroom-like objects which have lately been
explained by A. }. Reinach (Saglio, s. v. Az^wa) as the scalps of enemies.
In the centre of the first is a flat circular depression within a ring resem-
bling a medallion. The Emperor is clad in long tunic and ample toga
which seems to have been correctly restored as drawn up over the back
of the head ; on the feet the patrician bound by straps and fastened
in front with a round ornament. Of the elderly man to the 1. of the
Emperor only one foot (in faint relief), the head, the r. hand, and a piece
of the drapery below the neck are visible. He appears to have worn the
toga over a tunic. Of the standard-bearer behind him only the head to
below the mouth and the r. hand grasping the standard are visible: he is
bearded like the comrade facing him and wears a similar lion-skin helmet.
Formerly built into the wall of a house in Piazza Sciarra (Vacca,
AAwz. 28). Acquired for 100 scudi by the Conservatori in 1573 (H. A. C.,
Cred. i. 38, f. 436, cf. Cred. i. 26, f. 80, 83 ; Lanciani, A/orzh, ii. 83, iii. 125)

13. OVAL SARCOPHAGUS, WITHOUT LlD ; UXINSCRIBED
(PL 13).
IP. -60 m., L. 1-79 m. Greek marble. Unrestored.
Striated oval sarcophagus with a gap forming a small unadorned
zvazza^r/a in place of the more usual clipeus. At each corner is a stand-
ing figure. To the 1. is a woman wearing a tunic and a mantle which is
thrown over her head. Her 1. arm is lowered, her r. crosses her breast, and
with the hand she holds a fold of her mantle. She throws her weight on
the r. leg. Her hair is parted in the middle. Behind her is a looped-
up curtain.
To the r. is a man, dressed in a mantle which leaves the breast,
r. arm, and shoulder bare and falls over the 1. shoulder, where it is held
by the 1. hand. In his lowered r. hand he holds a roll. By his 1. foot
is a case for rolls. He throws his weight on the 1. leg. His face is very
much injured. Behind him is a looped-up curtain. At each end is
a trophy in very low relief. It consists of a round shield, battle-axe, and
crossed spears. The shields are decorated with geometric patterns.
Ordinary work of the third century A. D. The lettering of the inscrip-
tion was perhaps rendered by means of colour which has disappeared.
