occur double-headed, but one by the 
side of the other, in Winckelmann (Art. 
1, 241. ed. Amst.) ; but Ariadne is here 
evidently distinguished from Libera. She 
wears the mitra, and Bacchus has no 
heard, only a crown and corymbus of ivy- 
berries. A young and female head, 
crowned with wy, or vine leaf, is com- 
monly called an Ariadne; and Winckle- 
manw supports this opinion by sinilar 
appropriations in Stosch; indeed, in the 
famous bas-relief in the Admiranda, the 
presumed Ariadne has a crown of vine- 
leaves ; but, notwithstanding, it is very far 
from being general, and in the monu- 
ments quoted, the female may be the 
goddess Libera, and the very bas-relief 
called Orgia, with a pretended Ariadne, 
refer instead to the Liberalia, different 
and still more licentious festivities in 
rica of Bacchus. Seedug.deCiv. Dei;

No. 18. Fortune. She has the modius 
on her head, carries a Cornucopia, and 
has the helm on a globe. Count Caylus, 
upon the subject of a Fortune with the 
srodius upon her head, says, (Rech. 5, 
187), that it was 4 compliment of flattery 
to the emperors, in allusion to good and 
happy government; and that as the Ro- 
manus did not introduce the modius bLe- 
fore the reign of Hadrian, these Fortunes 
cannot be of an earlier fabric. The 
attributes of Fortune and Nemesis are so 
similar, that it is worth while to notice 
that the appearance of the cornucopia 
never, so far as I know, occurs in figures 
of Nemesis. - The cornucopia shows, 
that she dispenses all worldly blessings ; 
the helmand globe imply her government 
of the universe. . 
No. 19. A terminal head of the bearded 
Bacchus: This god was one of the guar- 
dians of the highways, the Lares Vales 
of Plautus, and Dei Viaci of Varro, and 
this accounts for the terminal form, such 
Statues being for the purpose, among 
others, of direetion-posts.. 
No. 20. A bust of Heraclitus. No 
bust of Heraclitus is included in a list by 
Mongez (Rec. d’Antig. p. 6) of thove 
indisputably antiques. Fulvius Ursinus 
or Orsini, (Imag. Viror. illustr. Pref. 
p. 2,) says, that the heads ofAristophanes, 
Heraclitus, &c. do not belong to the 
busts nor pedestals to which they have 
been appropriated: and adds, that forged 
Anscriptions have occasioned the mis- 
take. If this bust therefore be a genuine 
Heraclitus, it is exceedingly rare and 
valuable.

No, 21. A votive statue of a Man, 
whois carrying a round leathern bucket, 
suspended from his left arm. The head is 
covered with a conical bonnet, and a dol 
phin serves as a support to the figure. It 
is Ulysses: possibly carrying the wine to 
intoxicate Polyphemus. A conical bon« 
net, such as is still worn by the sailors in 
the Levant, and_applied to Ulysses, from 
his voyages, always distinguishes this 
hero, (See Winckelm. Monum. n. 153). 
It is true, that Vulcan wears ‘a similar 
bonnet, as do the Dioscuri (with a star), 
but the Dolphin appropriates it to Ulys- 
ses, this fish being one of his distinctive 
Characteristics, and the ensign on his 
shield. (Lycophr. Cassand. v. 658). 
In Stosch, is a regular series of. gems, of 
which the subjects are the various ad- 
ventures of Ulysses. The conical bonnet 
is sometimes ornamented. with broad net- 
work, 
No. 22. A Venus. It is fine, 
No. 23. Anunknown head, supposed to 
be that of a Pitan. It is highly anima- 
ted, and is looking upwards, apparently 
an great agitation. It has clotted hair. 
I know not what connection there is be- 
tween Typhon or Typheus the Titan, 
and the Egyptian Typhon, further than 
that they are both parts of their mytho- 
logy ( Natalis, 644), though affirmed by 
others to be quite distinct, Apollodorus, 
( Bibl.i. c. 6), gives the Titans a terrific 
visage, and this is also a striking charace 
teristic of the Egyptian Typhon, the god 
of evil. The learned may compare the 
dreadful aspect of the latter in the Fios 
rentine gems, (¢.11. pl. 41. n. 1). with 
this unknown iiead, and determine for 
themselves, whether 1t.be a Typhon, or 
not. 
No. 24. A Faun. . Very fine. 
No, 25. An elderly man holding a 
basket of fesk, votive. The muscles are 
in wrinkles all over thé upper parts, but 
not in the thighs. The legs are restored. 
Matfei, Bonanni, and Montfaucon, give 
us marbles of men with baskets of fish. 
This might be a-man who sold fish in 
the’ Foruin, for such an old man, with a 
basket of fish, occurs in Apul. AMetume 
l.i. They were™vreat extortioners, and 
might afford such a votive bas-relief, as 
a present to the temple of Esculapius. 
No. 26. A bust of Zeno. A fine bust 
was found at Herculanum, (¢. v.p. 67), 
with the name in Greek, but itis noc 
known whether it is the founder of the 
sect of steicks, or one of the two Zenos 
who followed Epicuras,
