Graeco-Roman art.
of a variant at Ince Blundell Hall (Ashmole: Ancient Mar-
bles at Ince No. 23, pl. 6). Young Roman women when being
portrayed as Diana would sometimes make use of this or
related types, as is shown by a statue from Ostia (Ansonia
X 1921 p. 160 seqq., fig. 1).

(where it is stated incorrectly by Fr. Poulsen that the head is old). Of the
Ostia statue there are headless replicas in the Collection o£ Carl Milles, now
acquired by the Swedish state, and in Berlin. (Bliimel Katalog Berlin V, K 249,
pls. 68-69).
87. (I. N. 1517). Artemis. Head. M.
II. 0.54. The nose tip is new. Part of the hair, on the right side of the
face, is patched on to head, and so were the upper and back parts of
the head now missing. Acquired 1896 from the collection of Prince
Orsini and found in 1895 in the temple of Artemis-Diana at Lake Nemi
together with the marble vases Nos. 506-7.
This well-executed head of Diana is wholly Roman, bear-
ing the stamp of the distinguished and cold classicism of the
Augustan style like the head of Athena No. 103, and a fore-
runner of the proud Athena head No. 101, which belongs
to the 2nd cent. A. D., the Roman baroque period. The size
of our head suggests a temple image. Cp. the large head of
a goddess from the Piazza Argentina, Arch. Anz. 44, 1929,
p. 91 fig. 11.

XII 1941 p. 14 and fig. 13 and p. 30 (Fr. Poulsen). The head from the Piazza
Argentina undoubtedly is 2nd cent. A. D., not Augustus’ time, as Wijkstrom
thinks (Corolla Archaelogica p. 25,3).
88. (I. N. 1579). Artemis. Statuette. M.
II. 0.30. Most of the right arm, the left forearm and both legs from
the knee missing. Acquired 1897 from Martinetti’s estate in Rome.
The goddess is wearing a short, tucked-up chiton and a
. chlamys wound about her middle. The statue is a reproduc-
tion of a well-known Artemis type, of which there are several
replicas and which arises from a 4th cent. B. C. original.
