vase-painting. In Munich

30. Hercules and Cerberus. On a vase in Naples
31. Cybele turrita. A statue from Formiae
32. The Glorification of Augustus. A famous cameo in Vienna.
All the interest centres in the emperor, who sits enthroned,
holding in his left hand a sceptre, and in his right the
lituus of an augur.
Above him is the star of his nativity
(Capricorn). Beside him sits the goddess Roma. An-
other goddess holds a crown of oak leaves above his
head. Caelus and Terra (with her children) are spectators
of the scene. On the left, Tiberius is stepping from a
chariot driven by a Victory. The boy is Germanicus.
In the lower part are captives, while Roman soldiers
are raising a trophy
33. Julius Caesar and Pompey, the former with laurel wreath
and star. Two gems in Berlin.

34. Marcellus the Younger. The uppermost portion of the great Paris Cameo, of which the main subject (set forth in a lower scene) is the glorification of the emperor Tiberius. In the part reproduced we see the deified Augustus with a sceptre. The soldier with a shield is Drusus, brother of Tiberius, who died in 9 B.C. The figure in Phrygian garb, poised in the air before Augustus, is Aeneas, the ancestor of the Julian family, who holds in his hands a sphere, symbolic of world-power. The figure on the winged horse, which is led by a Cupid, is Marcellus,1 the adopted son and heir of Augustus, whose early death in 23 B.C. was much lamented

35. Ganymede and the Eagle. Greek mirror, with relief.
36. Neptune. Lange's restoration of the Posidon of Lysippus
