CATALOGUE OF SCULPTURE.

1882. (Plate XV.) Head of the younger Drusus, son of
Tiberius (15 b.c-23 a.d.).

The head is half turned towards the left shoulder, and
looks slightly upward. The back of the head (which
was never complete), is in -part split away, and in part
roughly hewn out. Below, the neck is worked to fit into
a statue.

The portrait has the characteristics of Drusus as shown
on his coins, namely, a slightly aquiliue nose, arching
eyebrows, drawn-in lips, and hair coming low on the
forehead. —Kyrenia (Cyprus).

Parian marble. Height, 1 foot 2^ inches. Purchased, 1386.

Mansell, No. 1302.
For the coins, cf. Bernoulli, Room. Ikonographie, II., 1, pi. 33.

figs. 2-4.

1883. (Plate XV.) Bust of the younger Drusus, son of
Tiberius. The nose is broken away, which makes the
attribution somewhat uncertain, though the head is un-
doubtedly that of a young man of the Claudian house.
The head is turned to its right. The shoulder-straps and
upper edge of a cuirass are indicated. A Christian cross
has been incised on the forehead.—From Egypt. Presented
by Bev. G. J. Chester, 1872.

Green basalt. The hair is left rough, and the remainder is highly
polished. Height, 1 foot 5J inches. Grceco-Soman Guide, I.,
No. 6 ; Bernoulli (Rcem. Ikonographie, II., 1, p. 174, No. 28)
prefers to attribute the head to Germanicus.

1884. (Plate XV.) Male portrait, bust; beardless. The bust
is worked to fit a statue of a figure, somewhat drawing-
back, with head turned to his right. The character of
the head and arrangement of the hair seem to show that
the bust may represent one of the Drusi. The face is
mutilated.—Athens. Elgin Coll.

Greek marble. Height, 1 foot 7 inches. Synopsis, 262 (100);
