fragmentary inscription shows that the dedicator, whose name, however,
is lost, was a praetorian.
Clumsy but vigorous work.

2. FRAGMENT OF RELIEF FROM A SARCOPHAGUS (pi. 79).
H. -24 m., Br. .2 m. Luna marble. Unrestored.
The fragment, which is broken on the 1. side and below, depicts a
boat in which stand a man and a woman (man on the r.). The man
holds the woman s k hand with both his own. His face is missing; he
wears a cloak which leaves his r. shoulder and raised 1. knee bare. The
woman wears a long mantle drawn over the head.
This fragment belongs to the r. hand corner of a composition in the
continuous style which closely follows the 2/2 AhwTv'y of
Euripides, the most complete example of which is a sarcophagus in the
Munich Glyptothek (Ao^yrytza/, no. 222). This last scene shows
Iphigeneia led on to the ship by one of Orestes' comrades. Robert traces
the composition back to Theon (or Theoros) of Samos, who lived in the
latter half of the fourth century B. c. and painted the murder of Clytemne-
stra, the madness of Orestes, &c. (Pliny, AZ AA xxxv. 138).
The workmanship is very fair.

3. FRAGMENT OF RELIEF WITH APOTHEOSIS OF HERA-

H. -16m., L. -14 m. Marble, Unrestored.
Heracles reclining, to 1., with r. hand on club, 1. hand holding a cup,
lion's skin on head with paws tied under the chin. Another piece joining
on to this fragment with the r. leg and arm of the god, the club and part
of the inscription (see illustration in A22/Z C0772., /or. A/.) is now missing.
i The most important of the present series of z/rzzr TT^-py reliefs (Hiiisen, /pp.
rzZ, pi. x) is not exhibited here, and seems now to have disappeared, though stated
in Z. Z. Z. vi. 32349, to be on the stairs of the palace. It was dedicated by a number
of soldiers from Dimus in Moesia Inferior, and represents on the front face the
Thracian horseman or r/pzzy ZZ7W, and Hercules and the lion, with Hermes—signifying
presumably that both heroes, when their labours are ended, will be introduced by
Hermes into Olympus.
