2318. (Fig. 46.) Front of a sarcophagus, with scene from the
circus. Four figures, in the usual costume of the circus,
with thick bands swathed about the body, are driving
bigae to the right, the horses galloping and confused. On
the far side of each biga is a mounted horseman in a short
tunic. Below the horses of the first biga on the right is an
overturned basket. Below those of the second and third
are youths prostrate. In the background are the objects
which stood on the spina of the circus. At each end are
a pair of metae. Between them are four eggs on a beam
supported by two columns, and two dolphins, similarly
supported. The eggs and dolphins were first set up by
Marcus Agrippa, and served in some way to indicate the
progress of the race. There are also represented the top
of a small domed temple, and the top of an obelisk (?).
