Fuentes, by whom it had been put in its present mount, with 

 the following incription at the back : " ingens anaglyphieum 

 opus olim Sannesiorum ducum nunc vero pretio acc[uisitum 

 in Fontesiano cimelio asservatum." Story-Maskelyne, The 

 Marlborough Gems, No. 482 ; Bernoulli, op. cit., ii, pt. 3, 

 pi. 55. 



9. Sardonyx cameo : head of Agrippina the elder, in 

 cinque-cento sitting. With its beautiful workmanship and 

 the fine quality of the stone this gem reflects the refined 

 character of the art of the Augustan age in an admirable 

 manner. Story-Maskelyne, The Marlborough Gems, No. 416. 



10. Sardonyx cameo : bust of Claudius, wearing civic oak- 

 wreath and paludamentum, in plain gold setting. Story- 

 Maskelyne, The Marlborough Gems, No. 423. 



11. Chalcedony cameo of mottled yellow: bust, in full 

 face, of Marciana, sister of Trajan; she is represented in. 

 apotheosis, seated on a peacock. Story-Maskelyne, The 

 Marlborough Gems, No. 457.

 jS^os. 9 and 10 formerly belonged to the great Earl of Arundel 

 (1585-1646). 



111.— Marble. 



1. Head of a hoplite wearing a helmet. The shape of the 

 helmet and manner of wearing it, showing a margin of hair 

 in front and behind, recall the head of Pericles in the Elgin 

 Room. The face displays much pathos, and the style is in 

 keeping with what we are told of a statue of the wounded 

 Diitrephes by Cresilas (Pliny, Hist. Nat. xxxiv. 74 ; Pau- 

 sanias, i. 23, 3), and of a wounded Amazon by the same 

 sculptor. To this Cresilas the original of the Pericles head 

 is now attributed ; he also made a statue of a winner in the 

 foot-race at Olympia, and it is conceivable that this head 

 may be copied from a statue of an armed runner (hoplito- 

 dromps) from his hands, though none such is actually known.

 The Seilenos plays on a lyre. The shading is indicated by 

 rough hatched lines. This group much resembles the Dionysos
