Garble. Height, 5± inches. Synopsis, 298 (219); C.I.G., No. 250;
Greek Inscriptions in Brit. Mus., No. XLIL; Neubauer, Hermes,
XI., p. 146 ; Kaibel, 943, who assigns the relief to the 2nd
cent. a.d. For such votive reliefs, compare above, No. 2155,
also No. 813. For the dedication of a torch to Hermes, cf.
Ant/>. Pal., VI., 100.
2157. The heads and forehands of four horses, moving to the
left, evidently a fragment of a relief on which a four-
horse chariot was represented, driven at full speed. In
front of the horses is the edge of a mantle. The jaws are
drilled for metal bits. On comparing this relief with one
belonging to the Duke de Louie in Portugal, it is evident
that this fragment has been broken off from a composition
in which a figure, whose mantle is flying behind him, is
represented running in front of a chariot, as Hermes runs
before the chariot of Hades, or in analogous subjects.
The present fragment may be part of a votive relief
commemorating a victory in a chariot race. Probably a
work of the 2nd cent. B.C.—Poartales Coll.
Parian marble. Height, 1 foot 4J inches ; length, 1 foot inches.
