130 GALLERY OF ANTIQUITIES. [CENTRAL 
head and foot of a lion or panther, in red porphyry. Found, a.d. 1772, 
at a depth of twenty-five feet, in the forum, under the Palatine Hill. 
No. 51. Statue of a youth in Phrygian attire, wearing a cidaris or 
conical cap on his head, and a tunic, anaxyrides, chlamys, and shoes; 
it has been restored as Paris, holding the apple and shepherd’s crook, 
but is more probably Atys or one of the attendants of the god Mithras. 
Found in 1785, on the banks of the Tiber, at a distance of about five 
miles from the Porta Portese, and supposed to have been intended to 
ornament, a villa. 
Cast of the sarcophagus at present in the Museum of the Capitol, 
at Rome, in which the celebrated Barberini, or Portland Vase, was 
found. The subject of the front has been supposed to represent the 
quarrel of Achilles and Agamemnon, or Achilles discovered amidst 
the daughters of Lycomedes, at Scyros; that of the back, the ransom 
of the corpse of Hector by Priam. The figures on the cover have 
been supposed by some to be the Empress Julia Mammsea and her 
husband, or else her son, Alexander Severus. On it are placed two casts 
of the Barberini Vase found in it. Presented by Thomas Wyndlius , Esq, 
Sarcophagus found in a garden at Sidon. On the front and sides 
is part of the Amazonomachia, or battles of the Greeks and Amazons, 
the scene of which, from the presence of a palm tree, seems to be 
placed in Asia Minor. On the back is a contest of Greeks and Cen¬ 
taurs. From the heads found with it, and placed in the sarcophagus, 
apparently about the time of the Emperor Gordian. 
On a temporary stand, in the centre of this room, are placed— 
Bust of Serapis, in green basalt. It was obtained by Sir R. Ainslie 
at Constantinople. 
Bust of Antoninus Pius ; the small head of which is only antique : 
formerly in the Barberini Palace at Rome. 
Recumbent statue of Pan, wearing the nebris, or goat-skin, and 
holding the pedum in his left hand.

Part of a draped female figure seated in a chair. From the Earl of 
Belmore's Collection.

represented in the character of Isis. It is gracefully terminated 
by the flower of the Nymphsea lotus, on which it appears to rest. 
Purchased at Naples in 1772. 
Small statue of Cupid bending his bow: behind him is his quiver 
surmounted by a lion’s skin. Found in 1775, inclosed within a large 
amphora filled with earth, at Castello di Guido, about 12 miles from 
Rome, on the road to Civita Vecchia. 
Torso of a naked figure, apparently of an Apollo, with the arm 
above the head. 
Small bas-relief of the two Dioscuri standing in a distyle Ionic 
temple, crowned with fillets ; between them is a lighted altar. 
Pan standing and holding the pedum in his left hand; his right, 
which is restored, in a mocking gesture, has probably held the syrinx. 
Purchased at Rome by Lord Camden, and presented to Mr. Townley. 
Bas-relief portion of a small cippus; on it is Bacchus leaning on 
the shoulders of Ariadne, while she plays on the lyre.
