the shoulder of a dinos, balanced by a lion, it ceases
to be an isolated and scarcely intelligible piece, and
takes its place easily among the decorative works of the

dinos from Trebenischte, and the goat from Gevgeli also
from a dinos (Filow, Trebenischte 53, figs. 52-3 and 55,
fig- 54) give parallels for the turn of the head in animals
of the bronze lions with which we know that earlier
Corinthian dinoi were sometimes decorated.1 As a
last, but I think not unjustified, extension of this
sequence of hypotheses I would suggest that the
dinos from Amandola may be Corinthian.2

2 This suggestion is supported by the discovery at the
Heraeum inPerachora of bronze vase-supports in the shape
of lions' legs, by no means dissimilar in style to the legs
of the Amandola dinos.
TO THE CATALOGUE (no. 1415 & ff.)
A late Corinthian amphora, formerly in the Woodyat collection, is published in the sale-catalogue of
that collection (Rome 1912), pi. 2, no. 21: A, rider; B, siren.
