HERE is a depiction on page 11 that is especially note- 
worthy at this season of the year when one’s thoughts 
revert to the contemplation of family memorials in stone 
and marble. The feature to which we refer is an excellent 
representation of a sarcophagus discovered in 1780, on the 
Appian Way, in a vineyard belonging to the Sassi family, 
and in a tomb that was known as Scipio’s. When found 
the Scipio sarcophagus was taken to the Vatican and 
placed in the square vestibule near the Hall of Meleager. 
The next year, several thousand years. after the death otf 
Scipio, it was opened, and in jit was found the skeleton 
of Scipio Barbatas, one of the ancestors of Scipio Afri- 
canus. His bones were removed to a monument near 
Padua, the sarcophagus remaining in the Vatican. This 
sarcophagus of early Doric design, is cut from coarse 
grey Perperino stone, and as may be seen, it is in the 
form of an altar, decorated with a frieze of triglyphs and 
metopes. Each metope is decorated with a rosette in 
relief, the rosettes varying in pattern. The idea of using 
the triglyphs for a decoration, may have had its origin in 
the projection of the ceiling beams, in the older wooden 
temples. If this is true the guttae probably represent 
pins. The frieze is surmounted by an lonic cornice, and 
the top finishing at both ends, with a roll on which Ionic 
volutes are carved, permits the placing of a bust or vase 
on the space between. An inscription giving the titles of 
the diseased, may be traced on the lid of the sarcophagus. 
Among the notable modern modifications, variations, or 
elaborations of the Scipio design, are the memorials of 
Henry C. Payne and Charles Fletcher, but Linius Elisha 
Fuller—one of New York’s most distinguished citizens, 
lately held strictly to the original style. Aside from the 
so-called. improvements the Scipio design is in the great 
Roman class by itself, and will probably remain popular 
for countless generations to come. —Franecis M. CHASE,
