ungirt oVAw clasped on the shoulder and a cloak which falis from the
shoulders behind the body and is knotted in front below the waist so as
to cover the legs. Her head is bound with an ivy-wreath and a fillet tied
behind, the ends of which fall on the shoulders. In her 1. hand she holds
against her breast a bowl filled with fruit and in her r. a torch, with which
she is setting fire to an offering of more fruit on a low altar built of rough
stones. On the 1. of the altar stood a Bacchante with a and a
thyrsus over her 1. shoulder, and behind her a Faun dressed in deer-skin
playing on a double flute.

29. THE FINDING OF TELEPHUS (pi. 123).
Two incomplete slabs.
0) -425 m. x-37 m. Wanting: the 1. upper quarter with the upper part of
Hercules. The whole was coloured dark red, but the colour is lost on the 1.
(5) -43m.x-37m. Put together from fragments and restored. Restored: one-
third of upper ornament on 1. and space below as far down as the shoulders of
Hercules, and the lower part as far up as his knees; the interior of the cave and
almost all the body of the doe, the middle part of the background on r. and part of
the tree. No traces of colour.
Above, a row of palmettes over a /envy moulding.
On the 1. stands Hercules facing r. in a pensive attitude. The lion-
skin falls from his 1. shoulder, leaving the body bare. In his 1. hand he
holds the club pointing upwards, with his r. he strokes his beard as he
gazes at the scene before him. On the r. edge of the slab a tree over-
hangs the entrance to a cave. Within stands a doe which turns its head
to look at the infant Telephus, who sits beneath and is suckled by it.
Found in 1880 OzV? z'7; Fzh WhaLTzmW (site of
Baths of Constantine).
Identical with Von Rohden, Taf. CXXVII. 2; AW/. Owz. viii (1880), p. 300,
nos. 12 and 13.
30. FLYING VICTORY (pi. 124).
-40 m. x-3i5m. Missing: r. foot, end of veil and back ground in r. bottom
corner, 1. bottom corner, some background high up on the 1. side and all lower edge.
No traces of colour.
Above, a row of palmettes and linked volutes with Awcy moulding
diagonally incised ; plain fillet below.
The Victory hies to 1. with body turned to front so that all the
1. wing is visible over the 1. arm as well as a part of the r. wing behind
the head. The bent r. arm holds a large palm-branch bound with
a ribbon. A long veil hangs over the upper r. arm, falls in a curve
following the line of the body, passes between the thighs and boats out
behind the r. leg, which is crossed behind the 1. The 1. hand, extended
to r., holds a wreath. The figure is undraped except for the veil, and the
hair is gathered in a knot on the top of the head.
Second century A.D. Provenance unknown. Perhaps among those
found near the Agger Servianus near the Termini Railway Station.
