No. 27; 29, 30. Bearded Bacchuses. 
Terminal. See 2. 19, where the frequency 
of these héads is accounted for. - 
No. 28. A recumbent Diana. Count 
Caylus has given a Diana in repose, and 
he’ and others have crueily suspected. 
that these attitudes, notwithstanding her 
known prudery, imply the occupation of 
her mind by Endymion, or some lover. 
Reposing Dianus are exceedingly rare. 
Winckiemann says, she 1s always repre~ 
sented marching, or running. Art. 1, 
232. ed. Amstel. They are generally 
running figures: now and then sitting 
under a tree. 
No. 31. Boys quarrelling at the game 
of Talus. The leg is fine. The reader 
will vecollect the famous Astragalizontes, 
or two naked hoys playing with ¢alz, of 
Polycletus, in the Atrium of the eniperor 
Titus. See Plin. 34, 8. 
No. 32. A terminal head of Pericles, 
helmeted, and inscribed with his name. 
This is an authentic and genuine bust. 
From its perfect resemblanc. , in all res. 
spects, to the fine one found at Tivoli, 
inthe rains of the villa of Cassius, and 
now or recently in the Museum Pio- 
Clementinum, it may be suspected to be 
an ancient copy. In this bust we see the 
Greek he!met, called geraxov, with two 
apertures for ‘the eyes, and which, by 
being let down, covered the whole face 
like a mask. Thisaccounts for its length 
and elevation; but it makes the busts of 
Pericles and Minerva (where also it 
often occurs) very unsightly. 
No. 33. A statue, in which the artist 
has united the two characters of Bacchus 
ind d Faun. 
Noa. 34. A terminal head of Epicurus: 
This is a very common bust. Pliny the 
elder, (i. sxxv.-c. 2}, and. Cicero, 
( Finib. l. v), observe, that the disci- 
pies of chs: ‘philosopher net only pre- 
served his portrait in their apartments, 
but ensculped it on cups and rings. 
he portrait too is authentic; for the 
bronze bust found at Heicilattnm 
(t.v. p. 81), perfectly resembles that 
in the Capitol. See Mus. Capit. £> i, 
. 19;

No. 36. 4 Greek inscription. 
No. 37. A terminus of Aspusia, She 
is draped up to the chin; and according 
to my notes, higher than in the terminus 
found in the’ruins of Castro- Nuovo, near 
Civita Vecchia, in the Pio-Clementine 
Museum. See Muss Pio Clem. t. vi.

this bas-relief is nota Resexsh monument, 
but votive; and I think that the names 
apply to persons who had recovered their 
health. The horse is a mere symbol of 
rank, and the reason why we have so 
many statues of Hygeia, is, because it 
was customary for the rich to erect 
them, upon receiving a cure.
