FIRST GRiECO-ROMAN SALOON. 
This and the two succeeding Rooms are appropriated to statues, 
busts, and bas-reliefs, of the mixed class termed Graeco-Roman, 
consisting of works discovered (so far as is known) in Italy, but 
owing their origin and character, either directly or mediately, to 
the Greek schools of sculpture. Some few of these may, perhaps, be 
original monuments of the autonomous or ante-Roman period of 
Greece, afterwards transported by the conquerors to their own country, 
but the majority were certainly executed in Italy during the Imperial 
times, though generally by Greek artists, and in many instances 
copied, or but slightly varied, from earlier Greek models. The rela¬ 
tive age of such works being too uncertain to admit of carrying out 
satisfactorily a chronological arrangement, they are classified entirely 
according to their subjects, all the representations of each personage, 
mythic or real, being placed in juxtaposition. 
The present room contains the first portion of the mythological 
series, consisting of all the examples of the Twelve Olympic Deities, 
with their several modifications in the Greek and Roman Pantheon. 
The description commences from the northern, or right-hand side of 
the western door, which faces the entrance. The Greek names of the 
divinities, where differing from the Roman, are added wnthin brackets. 
Head of Jupiter ( Zeus), of the type termed Meilichios, or Mild. 
Formerly in the collection of the Duke of St. Albans. Pt. 10. PI. i. 
Bust of Jupiter, undraped, heroic size. Found at Hadrian's Villa 
Tiburtina, and presented by J. T. Barber Beaumont, Esq., 1836.
