room xv. No. 15—22. That portion of the^abo\ 7 e-men- 
ANTjguiTiEs. tioned frieze which occupied the east end of the 
temple. On. two of the slabs which compose this 
part of the frieze are represented divinities and 
deified heroes, seated; namely, Castor and Pol¬ 
lux, Ceres and Triptolemus, Jupiter and Juno, 
and Esculapius and Hygeia. There was originally 
a third slab, which represented four other divi¬ 
nities also seated, but it has disappeared for many 
years. On the right and left of these sacred 
characters, are trains of females with their faces 
directed to the gods, to whom they are carrying 
gifts; we see also directors or regulators of the 
procession, among whom are the officers whose 
duty it was to receive the presents that were 
offered. These females appear to have headed the 
procession, and to have been followed by the victims, 
charioteers, horsemen, &c., both on the north and 
south sides of the temple, which together formed a 
procession up to the same point in two separate 
columns. 
No. 23—33. A portion of the same frieze, taken 
from the north side of the temple. No. 23 is a 
fragment of a much larger slab ; it represents two 
of the Metoeci y or strangers, that settled at Athens, 
and who were allowed to take part in the pro¬ 
cession. They carry on their shoulders a kind of 
tray, filled with cakes and other articles. The re¬ 
mainder of this part of the frieze represents cha* 
rioteers and horsemen. Among the latter are 
seven slabs which succeed each other in their ori¬ 
ginal
