and Road is seen part of the Great Tower of Ilium, and
to the right hand, next to and behind the Gate, the
ruins of the Palace of Priam, partly overladen with later
but still pre-Hellenic walls, and partly standing free.
Behind, the Scsean Gate appears again, going in a
direction W.N.W., then the great City Wall, and upon
it, at or about the spot marked a, the Treasure was
found. In the background, where the man stands, is
seen a wall built of massive hewn stones, belonging to
a Tower of the Greek age. Behind this Tower-wall

of Imbros, and above this the mountains of Samothrace.
At the right extremity of the picture, also, a part of the
Plain of Troy is seen through the great cutting, over
