413. Arch the Eighth, styled Arcus Ferdinandini pars
anterior, offers a lofty and splendid display of richly embel-
lished architecture, having three arched doorways and a
picture in the centre, representing Prince Ferdinand and the
King of Hungary, commanding at the Battle of Nortlingen.
See No. 98, Vol. II. On either side are whole-length statues
of princes, and the centre is surmounted by a figure of Victory,
in a chariot drawn by four fiery coursers, on either side of
which are appropriate emblematical figures and trophies.

414. Arch the Ninth, styled Arcus Ferdinandini posterior,
corresponds in its general form with the preceding. Above
the centre doorway is a picture representing Prince Fer-
dinand in a car, and Victory placing a wreath on his brows.
See No. 99, Vol. II. Numerous allegorical figures adorn this
erection, the centre of which is surmounted by Bellerophon
on Pegasus.
415. Arch the Tenth, styled Arcus ad D. Michaelis.
Above the centre doorway is a picture representing Prince
Ferdinand in the character of Hercules, being conducted up
the steep and difficult ascent, to the temple of Fame. See
the latter portion of description, No. 100, Vol. II., which
should properly have formed a second article. Two winged
figures bearing banners adorn the pediments.
416. The Temple of Janus, &c. See No, 100, Vol. II.

417. A Geneological Tree, exhibiting the origin and
descent of the Spanish monarchs, at the foot of which is
seated the pope, surrounded by various emblematical figures.
This picture is bounded by an architectural frame of singular
beauty, adorned at the top with figures representing painting
and sculpture.
